Jochen WoltersWith every brilliantly argued article like this I'm more and more convinced that the vast majority of product teams simply don’t give a shit about user experience anymore. Except for some niches with amazingly crafted products — small indie dev shops, typically — #UX as we used to know it is dead. Unadulterated #enshittification has taken over. And no, given the state of #HCI, I do not consider that statement hyperbole anymore. ☹️ https://hachyderm.io/@pheonix/116217093814614104

The current state of the web assumes that the reader is an adversary to be trapped and monetized. When a news website forces you through three dismissive actions just to read a headline, they are burning your cognitive budget before delivering any value. You are greeted by a cookie banner taking up the bottom 30% of your screen, a "Subscribe!" modal dead center, an autoplaying video pinned to the corner and a prompt begging to send you push notifications. I wrote about the state of news websites. Would love to hear your thoughts✨🙏 https://thatshubham.com/blog/news-audit #enshittification #darkpattern #web #technology #socialmedia #indieweb #ux #privacy
