There's a lot of "aesthetic improvements" that are just complete horseshit, and untold chumbuckets of corporate bullshit that's bloomed the past several years. I see quite a bit of the points have been addressed multiple times in this thread, so I'm going to try and get something slightly new in there.
I fucking hate how everything on the internet, and even the windows now have to have the little shitty rounded edges. I remember seeing something years ago that it was caused by a "study" on human instinct or some shit where rounded corners were deemed "more approachable and less threatening" but I could be remembering that wrong entirely. There's also the fact nearly every site now eventually gets redesigned to have visual priority for mobile devices first instead of actual PCs, so you now get some big budget sites with horrific compressed jpeg icons that aren't noticeable on mobile because of the tiny ass screen. Shit's fucking weird too because on mobile they'll constantly shill for a "site app".
Everything nowadays tries to become a fucking subscirption fee based service too, even shitty fucking clickbait sites in some cases.
This last one goes back to the text aesthetics I saw brought up earlier in the thread. I really miss seeing a lot of sites using aesthetically pleasing fonts like Courier New as a default text setting. nowadays it's almost always the same fucking font no matter where you go,that one where there's literally no difference between I and l aside from a very slight bit of thickness that doesn't show up at certain sizes.Doesn't even have to be this fucking font, it's the fact that there's barely any variety that fucking kills me. That's only a small gripe amongst pretty much everything I've said before this, and everything everyone that's posted before has said, yet I still felt like bringing it up.
GIVE ME FONT VARIETY BIG INTERNET MEDIA YOU INEPT CREATIVITY SUCKING ASSCLOWNS REEEEEEEEEEEEE
