Aw:( I dont think an annoying website design should shy you away from playing music. Being able to express yourself with guitar is more than worth having to deal with UGs shittiness, or calluses for that matter, even if it just means playing your own rhythm of G-C-D, or some simple chord progression.
Maybe if you pick it back up one day, try not to think of it as a chore to learn songs you like from tabs, and instead just explore the instrument and the sounds you can make with it.
It wasn't what made me quit, I'm just glad that I don't have to deal with that shit because I'm not still playing.
I've tried a lot of musical instruments in my life and while I enjoyed the guitar for a couple of years, I just didn't feel like I was ever going to be skilled enough on it to really enjoy it, so I moved on. And I didn't like the calluses at all.
That's too bad, but if you didn't enjoy it then there's not much point in continuing.
I guess my point was you don't really have to deal with UG or be very skilled to enjoy playing, but if you didn't like it (calluses are kind-of a must, tbh) then it's not worth sinking time into, imo
