I'm tagging this tech because internet/app stuff does this all the time for the last few years but welcome to hear anything getting worse purely for The Algorithm or other dumb reasons --the "images" button on Google is now placed randomly in a list of hashtags they think you should click --almost every streaming service puts "continue watching" behind the fold (makes you go find it by hitting down)

--google doesn't put the wikipedia page anywhere consistent anymore. Sometimes an info block based on the wiki article with the link, sometimes a similar one without a link, sometimes the wikipedia article is 3/4 down the page

YouTube search gives you maybe one or two results directly related to your search, the rest are very vaguely related, and there's no way to simply request more results for the words you searched. This is at least true on my TV's app. Videos I used to be able to look up by name don't even show up any more without like adding the account name.

They changed the formula for orange Fanta and now it no longer has 5% real juice in it, it tastes worse, and now has a gross aftertaste.

They moved the fingerprint sensor from the back of Samsung phones to be on the front so you use it on the screen, it makes screen replacement tedious and if you get someone else to do it it's dumb expensive because of this

Not specific, but every time there is a small company gets known doing/making something good and well it then get brought up by a large multinational and within two years at most they're been effectively closed down and the multinational is just using their name to sell what ever crap the multinational always sells.

New exciting change as of tonight which is tiny but annoying, opening videos from youtube into a new tab with middle click no longer works when clicking on the video thumbnail, it now requires you to do it on the title. It's probably a firefox exclusive issue, because google goes out of their way to sabotage firefox, a 70 market share is not enough; it's also much higher than 70 if you consider that most remaining alternatives are chromium-derived.

The Wirecutter used to have good reviews, with like, here is what we suggest and why, here is what you give up if you go for the budget option, if that's important to you, and here is what you get with an upgrade pick, but we don't think it's worth it. Then it got bought by the NY Times and it's like, here are 25 father's day gifts, why you need a peloton, or 9 deals you need right now.

youtube still recommends loving blippi videos despite having cleared my history and never even having watched one. one autoplayed for one second before i stopped it. it's going to make me quit the internet entirely. just seeing the thumbnails makes me want to rip everything in the room apart like an ape. i made the special effort to clear the poo poo and it's still there. i've read the "enshittification" article, and understanding why everything sucks doesn't help matters. i'm calling it now. the internet is over. email to your relatives and friends is on thin ice but the internet is cooked

bunch of foods in the UK suddenly have milk on the ingredients list so they're no longer Vegan even though they used to be. I can't eat pringles anymore, or bournville chocolate.

you would think if you just put a random or obscure word straight into google the first result would always be the dictionary but no it will in fact be some software company that calls itself by that word, a shopping website tagged 'advert' followed by that same shopping website not tagged as 'advert' and then reddit, which is dying

Every aspect of every transaction down at the store taking just that little bit longer because all that information has to go to the goddamn mothership out in space and back as it happens before each step of the transaction can proceed. God help us all when the power flickers on and off. Every fuckin thing's gotta automatically check for updates. Please wait. I'm sure it all makes life easier for some weirdo bean counters somewhere.

To share from the youtube app I now have to scroll sideways through a list of things I don't want to share to until I get to a "more" button that brings up a list with things I may actually want, but still with what I would use most often buried at the bottom

At some point in the last few weeks, YouTube has been running like poo poo for me, occasionally videos will stop buffering and I have to refresh the page before the video will start playing again. Only happens on my work laptop, and it doesn't seem to be related to any of the crap my work installs. Drives me absolutely bonkers

Peggy Edson posted:anytime a developer thinks adding an extra menu to something that was easily accessible should get the guillotine We use Microsoft Dynamics for CRM and in the previous version the “Save” and “Save and Close” buttons were right next to each other, which makes sense. In the latest release they moved “Save and Close” to a drop down under “Save” and the button next to “Save” is “Close as Lost” which definitely didn’t cause any issues when everyone’s muscle memory went there to save and close.
