@cabel not a unique observation but overhead someone the other day describing it as shopping for gambling addicts

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.

@cabel This is... shockingly obnoxious... Did it make sound too? Because I think that would be the point I might actually consider breaking my own phone.
I think what gets me is the sheer desperation that this just positively exudes.
Also why is the contrast so freaking low. I can imagine the full vibrancy would hurt the eyes a lot too, but this somehow manages to be actually more strain...

@sterophonick @cabel Oh my god... This... should be illegal... Like seriously, literally, whatever that hot mess of crap even is, it should be banned from existing. They say you're not supposed to just bury the past, but screw it. I'll bring shovels.

@AlSweigart @cabel The gambling industry? Actually that's fraud too.
