    UX has seemingly disappeared across the web unfortunately. Sites just change things for the sake of it.

      I’m convinced that almost all of the frustrating shit that corporations dump down on us comes from weekly staff meetings where some suckup climber just wants to tell the boss hey look, we did a shiny new thing! A thing nobody wanted or asked for. Line must go up.

        That’s literally how google works. They want everyone “innovating” and changing shit constantly. Got a new idea for a thing? Roll with it. Gmail is a different name now? Roll with it! Massive UI change for no.discernable reason? You’d better believe you’re gonna be told to roll that out, and someone else will take your place and change shit again shortly.

          Google is very annoying at times. I’m fine with constantly trying NEW stuff out but I hate it when they break (or make worse) popular stuff that’s widely used and people have come to depend on it. I feel like Microsoft is the absolute worst in this regard, but Google is really up there, too. I wish there could be a sea change where the “culture” (or whatever it’s properly called) shifts back towards putting a lot of value on reliability and resilience and less on gee-whiz crap. I don’t think it’s likely to happen, but I can dream. I’m old enough to remember when people really demanded this from their vehicles and that’s why Japanese cars started kicking American carmakers’ asses.

            I haven’t adopted a Google technology since 2010, that’s when I got my first Android phone. They have such a terrible track record with discontinuing projects that I just don’t trust them with the time cost of adoption.

      They don’t change things just for the sake of it. They change things so they can point at it and say, “look what I did! I deserve a promotion!”

      Sadly it’s like that because the money people A/B test things to make the numbers go up.
