I came here to say this. Often times the pop ups are so bad that I just leave the site. Its almost never worth it

I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

…I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

I can hear it now. My kid's generation is gonna be giving each other shit like "wait, you bought this off a website? Like a millennial?"

Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

I miss “old internet” :(

Two years ago I bought one pair of shoelaces from a website that looked like the old internet. It was fucking great.

Amazon redirecting you to the front page after you decline cookies is just amazingly stupid design.

Sites so slow they actually crush the browser and overheats the phone. Reddit does that, the imgur site is cursed by performance issue and it's always loading something. Sometimes I think they're loading malicious code to mine crypto with my computational respurces for how bad it gets.

It's what a phpBB / vBulletin forum would look like.

If you ask me, goated interface. All the information is there, fast to load.
