  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?"

        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” :(

    Sites so slow they actually crush the browser and overheats the phone. Reddit does that, the imgur site is cursed by performance issue and it’s always loading something. Sometimes I think they’re loading malicious code to mine crypto with my computational respurces for how bad it gets.

  It’s just literally an average online experience.

  I am going to refute that claim as I don’t see monitors falling out of windows everyday.
  And I am pretty sure people are doing “online” stuff.

  Not with a good ad and annoyances blocker. I reformatted my hard drive recently and the few pages I had to visit before installing that really opened my eyes to how bad it is, and how most people just live with it being. Hadn’t experienced much of any of these the past several years, and it has gotten a lot worse since I did. I’ve noticed that most people I know who are not that tech-savvy have stopped going to websites or even trying anything online other than a very few selection of apps, and now that makes total sense.
