@0xAFAEBABE right, gotcha. I mean… it’s not like I have another name for those. Throbber does seem more descriptive than spinner…

@0xAFAEBABE ok, that’s a new one on me (a UXer, with more than a few years in the game). Dare I ask for an example of a throbber?

@spilledtea you’re absolutely right. They know they’re a dream client for many and use that as leverage to layout egregious terms because they know someone will agree to it. A shocking display of power abuse.

A year to pay an invoice! 
This is awful bullying tactics by a huge business. Agencies are not responsible for bankrolling a brands marketing.
I’ve seen some lengthy payment terms before, but this is hard to believe, especially in current times. Keurig Dr Pepper need to read the room.

@Nerdfest Netflix has a number of deceptive patterns built into its #ux that are designed to keep you watching. It’s actually a very manipulative brand that’s been caught out before for things like racial profiling. I think it’s the most manipulative of all the streaming apps I’ve used before.

@core_ is that just a symptom of #mastodon being slow right now due to huge influx of people? I say that as a new member (part of the problem)

@seldo I agree with the first 2. I don’t think FA’s are inherently bad though, they have to try their best to walk the line between sport and politics. A number we’re planning on pitch support for LGBQT during matches in Qatar but had to withdraw due to FIFA threatening sanctions on players.

@ALKAT absolutely! I’m with you. We’ll either find our community on here or build one.

@yuhline don’t think it will die, it will just be different.
