    I often typed “hipster coffee shop” into the search bar as a shorthand because Yelp’s search algorithm always knew exactly what I meant by the phrase. It was the kind of cafe that someone like me – a western, twentysomething (at the time), internet-brained millennial acutely conscious of their own taste – would want to go to.

    Yeah. The “algorithm” is to blame.

      Dang, I was interested in the interface article but it reads like a high school essay.

      The best reason, personally is because we collectively evolved our perception of good design as being informative, friendly and hospitable.

        Sorry, I just knew I’d seen this pattern a lot, so I searched and dropped in the first examples I found
