‘Your Frustration Is the Product’ The people making these decisions for these websites are like ocean liner captains who are *trying* to hit icebergs.

I haven't read @gruber.foo in awhile but Google News surfaced this piece, and it's spot on

The 49MB Web Page A look at modern news websites. How programmatic ad-tech, huge payloads and hostile architecture destroyed the reading experience.

Example of Facebook profile UI for Reviews showing no delete option anywhere on the profile page.

Not only can't I mass delete all my Reviews, but I also can't delete them individually without going to every single business page they're on and manually clicking 3 times to delete them one by one.

Many of these reviews were created by external apps and sometimes in bulk. #darkPatterns #hostileUX
