    Ah man. It was an artifact from a bygone era, when user experience was the guiding principle behind site design.

    The prevailing design now appears to be “digital skinner box encrusted with dark patterns”, and it feels like all the major sites are in a race to see who can crap up their user experience the most. I want to go back to Web 1.0 please.
