i think youtube etc should just give their frontend developers paid leave and their higher-ups unpaid leave, because they already have a working UI and are literally only verschlimmbessering it. literally nobody prefers the new youtube ui to the old one enough to justify all of those salaries; most people i know actively hate it. i couldn't name you one good feature from youtube, twitter etc. introduced in the last few years, and yet they pay millions in salaries for some idiots to have dumb ideas and force people to code those. couldn't they just, like, stop paying the idiots who come up with those fucking ideas and give the poor web devs who have to implement this shit their usual salary for free? the CEOs would literally make more money and the users would be happier
like, if its something like bugs.chromium.org vs issues.chromium.org where the old interface was garbage and the newer interface is significantly better i totally get it, but youtube etc. are literally only fucking around and making shit worse while their users scream "no"
(for reference, youtube is doing this horseshit now which inspired this post. the old ui is fine you don't have to change Fucking Everything for no reason)
