What are the modern design trends you hate most? (lemmy.world)

Original question text by @phantomwise@lemmy.ml

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.

Intentional mishyphebation, it came in like 2 years ago and is driving me insane. I mean the kind where they want to use same amount of letters in 3-4 rows, but intentionally make it so it doesn't follow the proper hyphenation.

Sorry about the example, this was the first thing to pop up in my head that has enough letters:

KARD

ASHI

ANS!

Dark themed apps and websites. Vertical video. Blurry photos and videos when it's done for "artistic reasons".
