When a page or UI loads half a second before you click so you end up clicking on something else
I remember hearing a lot about "responsive design" right around the time it started becoming impossible to click things. Never wanted to learn more about it, but i think that's the culprit.

The mobile YouTube apps are the worst for this. Especially because the "back" button is really an "escape" button, so trying to just swipe back to where you were is impossible
