I don’t often shop in this shopping centre. I had to find a specific shop so went to look it up on the giant You Are Here poster map with a store index. They’ve replaced it with a giant touch-screen you have to operate, clicking in & out of pages while the nearest 107 people follow along. Probably shows ads too. (I didn’t use it.) A waste of time. A waste of the customer’s and planet’s energy. The poster map was at-a-glance simple. It worked for decades. Such a stupid case of #enshittification.

@benjaminlj Haha - måske burde jeg smide et link til mit gnavne trut ind i deres Ris Eller Ros web-kasse næste gang jeg surmuler mig forbi skærmen.

@CiaraNi ja, det vil de tydeligvis gerne have
gad vide om de ville reagere hvis man skriver det samme brok hver dag. -

@markiejiang Bruuns Galleri? Because I happen to come in through the train station and therefore know it, I've never looked at those signs. That is daft! When you're standing in the middle of the shopping areas, there's no way to see which exit leads where. Exactly what you need is a fingerpost sign showing you 'Trains, Thataway'.

@CiaraNi Also, besides all that, it's yet another complete misunderstanding of what the original thing does for people. They
️ think every visitor came to visit exactly one shop & they know the name / category (including spelling) - but that's not how people work. A primary function of any map is orientation; where am I & what else is here? This isn't explicit in most people's minds, such that they could describe the need - but they have a worse experience when it's absent. -
@CiaraNi det var selvfølgelig rent hypotetisk: Tænk hvis nogen sendte det samme brok hver dag. Det kan selvfølgelig ikke sammenlignes med det konstruktive kritik jeg er sikker på at du ville levere.

@CiaraNi This "OMG EVERYTHING MUST BE A COMPUTER" thing needs to stop.

This isn't explicit in most people's minds, such that they could describe the need - but they have a worse experience when it's absent.@jwcph Great point. Exactly correct. The old at-at-glance poster was a traditional shopfinder and wayfinder - a list of shop names and categories with corresponding numbers on the map. As you say, the 'what else is here?' function is fundamental. I might be looking for, say, scented oil for a candle burner. I think I'm looking for that pharmacy I can't remember the name of, then I spot a health shop on the index, closer to where I'm standing. New and useful information, at a glance.

@kilroy_was_here Absolutely agreed.

@benjaminlj Hahaha - du kan tro, jeg brokker mig
Jeg ramte en eller anden enshittification tipping point for et par år siden og nu skriver jeg hver gang, en tjeneste eller et firma forværrer deres produkter eller kundeservice ved digitalt at ødelægge noget. -
Agree. Also the categories those systems offer may not even match what you want "that store with the things I saw last week and changed my mind about" can't be searched for, but you have "small retail" or "fashion" as mostly meaningless categories.

@retrosponge Yes indeed. That struck me too. It's like the opposite of Covid taught us to avoid.
