UX design got better and better for many years...but it has definitely been regressing over the past few years, IMO. It's weaponized minimalism at this point. Because it "looks cool, bro".
It's a variant of enshittification.
The overuse of the word enshittification drives me crazy.
Yeah, it has a very specific meaning, and people are now using it to mean "things becoming shitty". Just because "shit" is the base word doesn't mean that's what the whole word means.
Enshittification doesn't mean "thing gets shittier"? Who knew?!
No, it doesn't.
From Wikipedia:
From the guy who coined the term itself:
Being a pedant is never a good look. You're missing the larger point. The same corporate impulse that drives platform decay ripples out to things like UX design. And that impulse is: the customer doesn't matter anymore, we already got your money, only what we want matters.
Enshittification of "enshittification"
