    So many:

    • Unsubscribe links that are magically broken.
    • Newsletter popups when you’re trying to view content.
    • Websites that are paywalled coming up in search engines.
    • Broken shopping cart payment systems.
    • The fact that it’s an assault on your senses to browse without an adblocker.
    • “Sign in to view content” for articles, posts, etc.
    • Banking sites that time out after a minute.
    • likewise, shopping cart sessions that expire before you’re done shopping.
    • AI generated articles that don’t even sound like they’re referring to the right topic.
    • Recipe websites that have a 15 page story for each recipe without a way to skip to the actual recipe.
    • “Endless scrolling” that prevents you from accessing links at the bottom of the page.
    • Business websites that don’t list an address.
    • “Password must be short enough to guess.”
    • "How did we do? " emails.
    • Automatic newsletter sign-up.
    • Desktop websites that act as if you’re on a phone (i.e swipe through grocery filters instead of scrolling through them).
    • Unreadable, archaic, and/or low-contrast fonts.
    • “This content is not available in your country.”

    I could list dozens more. 😮‍💨

      Honestly, AI websites that do sound like they’re talking about the right topic are worse. You’ll get halfway through the steps and realize it’s bullshit and wasted your fucking time

      This is a quirk of copyright law. You can’t copyright a recipe unless it’s attached to a story. Because recipes aren’t considered creative works, for some reason. So you’re not copyrighting the recipe; You’re copyrighting the story, which was a creative writing exercise. Basically, without a story attached to it, the recipe is free for anyone to steal and resell in a cookbook or paid site.
