Asshole Design (web edition)

Similar to an “Asshole Design” gripe fest but with a specific focus on #enshitified websites. It’s also a discussion on how to improve your web UX.

crappy design candidates are also welcome here (we just call the community asshole design because that’s the most common scenario)
discussion of defense practices is encouraged - we are broader than just registering gripes. In fact, hopefully self-defense tips is the most common theme of the threads

Share your strategies for how to deshitify the web here!

A software package was released as a tarball, but if it’s not listed in the releases (which gives the size) you’re stuffed if you need to know the size before downloading because curl -LI $url gives content-length: 0.
