UX design got better and better for many years...but it has definitely been regressing over the past few years, IMO. It's weaponized minimalism at this point. Because it "looks cool, bro".

It's a variant of enshittification.

The overuse of the word enshittification drives me crazy.

Thank you. I think it was overused even the moment it was used for its intended purpose. It feels really im14andthisisedgy to me.

I'm actually really glad we're hearing it.

It's a sign that people are finally starting to have higher standards.

I think those with low standards would get upset. Nobody likes to admit they're being taken advantage of.

And I think this is a dumb take, considering who coined the word and why. It's a variation of "I hate anything trendy or popular".
