Ugh. The amount of unnecessary work that went into all this unnecessary animation…
@argv_minus_one nah, it's probably mostly generated at this point @cabel

i opened the app, and recorded this unedited, nearly two minute, launch sequence. it somehow just gets funnier and more absurd
@cabel I guess we now know where all those devs laid off from King and Zynga ended up...

@cabel Do I never see stuff like this because I don't own a smartphone, but use a lap top ?

I've seen casino slots less desperately flashy than this -

@cabel looks like the demo reel on a slot machine in vegas when it's not in use. Disgustingly amazing. Like a piece of shit you can't stop looking at because it looks vaguely like something else.

@cabel trainpal (a UK rail booking app) does exactly the same bullshit
@Violet@chitter.xyz @cabel@social.panic.com this reeks like some rather unsavoury "gamification as a service" company, I’ve seen a few of them shoehorned into existing things but nothing this egregious

Dark pattern after dark fucking pattern.
Imagine the chain of workers that must have happen for this to exist. The psychologist, the graphic designers, the motion specialist, the developers making it smooth. Humanity's greatest. All leading to this.When somebody asks me about "innovation under capitalism" I'll show them this video.

@cabel They sure have turned the shopping experience into a shitty, addictive mobile game, haven’t they?

@cabel Holy sensory overload. This is unbearable for me to watch. This is an accessibility issue for someone like me. I can't have too many flashy things where they don't belong. Many of those animations animations make me nausious.
What do they think their app is, a slot machine in a casino or something?
If there isn't already a reason for me to avoid Temu like the plague, there is now. Lord have mercy...

@cabel
I attempted to purchase something from Temu once, but I found that they are not interested in collecting money from people like me.
