Rant alert

I HATE A/B TESTING SO MUCH WHY DOES EVERY APP I USE HAVE A DIFFERENT UI OR EVEN UX EVERY TIME I LAUNCH IT. OH HEY BESTIE HOW DO I REPOST THIS? OH ITS THAT BUTTON RIGHT THETE THATS GREAT LET ME DO THAT ON MY- OH NEVERMIND I DONT HAVE THAT BUTTON YET BUT I DO HAVE THE NEW SLOP BUTTON SO I CAN INSTANTLY DEPLETE TWO DYSON SPHERES SO I CAN GENERATE A PIG SHITTING ON ITS BALLS!!! ALSO HEY INSTAGRAM WHAT HAPPENS WHEN I GO TO A DM AND SCROLL AFTER SELECTING A VIDEO? DEPENDS ON THE DAY I GUESS AND ILL NEVER KNOW WHAT ANYTHING I DO WILL ACTUALLY RESULT IN WITHIN YOUR SHITTY GODFORSAKEN APP. OH AND YOUTUBE WHO ADDS GENUINELY HELPFUL FEATURES THAT I GET COMFORTABLE WITH AND THEN JUST RIPS THEM AWAY I GUESS BECAUSE THEY DIDNT SELL ME ON ENOUGH BAD DRAGONS OR ISRAELI SOLIDARITY PINS OR WHATEVER AAAAA FUCKKK A/B TESTING FUCK THE WAY NOBODY CARES ABOUT THE USER EXPERIENCE AND FFFUCKKK AMERIKKKA (of course)

less of a rant

Why is it so hard for an app to not change fundamental UX every day. Genuinely this is a huge benefit to OSS because even “polished” proprietary software is doing this BS. Even having apps set to only update when I tell them aren’t safe because the publishers don’t need to update the whole app to change what swiping does on a video or how to change tabs.

I wonder how many Hexbears read your comment first and then paused, paralyzed by choice they didn't realise that they had before. It's at least 1 (me).
