Modern websites are horrible, with awful user experience. I hate them :marseyraging:

Gone are the days of opening a site, reading something interesting, then closing it. Now, you get:

>Pop-up to undertake a 7-click process to opt out of privacy-violating cookies

>Pop-up asking to sign up to their newsletter (so they can sell your details)

>[For mobilecels] Half-page pane encouraging you to open content in their shitty, borderline-malware mobile app

>Autoplay videos with sound

>[On news sites] Highlighted text link that isn't to a relevent story or reference, but is just a topic tag linking to loads of articles with that tag that I don't care about.

>Pressing "back" redirects you to the homepage or "before you leave" page full of crap.

Why are they like this? Why did things get so bad?

Cookie popups are a perfect example of a government correctly identifying a problem, not really understanding it, and coming up with some absolutely r-slurred solution. There are many ways to educate people about cookies and website tracking without legally enforcing a popup on every single website ffs
