every PM everywhere. They simply cannot leave good enough alone.
Eventually every site A/B tests its way until it becomes Reddit mobile site. No one asked for carousels but sites continue to use them. We are getting inundated with popups today. I don't want to say it's as bad as 1990s flash ad popups. But it's getting damn close now. Bullshit cookie popups. "This site is better on our mobile app" crap popups. Google sign in popup bullshit.[1]
I would say anti-UX and anti-accessibility is very much the point of many sites. "Dark patterns" help conversion and the bottom line. Every site you visit is engaged in psychological warfare with you.
