What are the modern design trends you hate most? Feel free to rant! Mine are:
- Physical buttons are out of fashion, now EVERYTHING must have a touch screen instead! Especially if it makes the appliance more inconvenient to use. Like having to press a flimsy touch screen ten times to scroll through a washing machine’s programs instead of just turning a physical knob and pressing a physical start button.
- Every website looks like it’s made for a phone and was vomited by the same app in slightly different flavors of vomit.
- Actually EVERYTHING looks like it’s made for a phone… Like what’s the deal with all those hamburger menus on DESKTOP apps? Please just put a regular menu and same me some pointless clicking, it’s not like you’re lacking screen space. I especially hate that those menus can’t be opened from the keyboard like regular menus.
Fast food restaurants looking generic is on purpose.
There’s value in owning a property. That value is a lot lower if it’s something like McDonald’s kid-theme restaurant, or the classic Pizza Hut building.
If you got a generic modern building, it can be used for anything and sold with ease.
They didn’t say, “I have no idea why”, they said it’s soulless and annoying. Capitalism truly produces garbage. It doesn’t matter that there is a reason for bad decisions. They’re still bad decisions.
