Sad part about this is it's not comic hyperbole. It's just literally an average online experience.

I came here to say this. Often times the pop ups are so bad that I just leave the site. Its almost never worth it

Amazon redirecting you to the front page after you decline cookies is just amazingly stupid design.

I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

…I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

I can hear it now. My kid's generation is gonna be giving each other shit like "wait, you bought this off a website? Like a millennial?"

[-] CodeBlooded@programming.dev 4 points 3 months ago

Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

I miss “old internet” :(

Two years ago I bought one pair of shoelaces from a website that looked like the old internet. It was fucking great.
