On websites or apps, how often do you tap on something that you didn't intend to ? (lemmy.world)

This happens to me a lot these days - search for something, website/app lists some stuff one of which I’m interested in. But as soon as I move my finger to tap on it, the website/app loads something else and move what I wanted to tap up or down. I unintentionally click another result and get annoyed I have to do the whole thing all over again.

The one that happens to me the most is on Instagram. When there is overflow text on the caption of a post and it provides the "more" link, I accidentally hit the "save" bookmark icon because of how close they are. It's usually some news post or something that I definitely have no interest in saving. It feels like bad UX design to me.
