I happened to click a link that took me to the associated ~~twitter~~ X account for something I was interested in and was greeted by not one, not two, but four modern day web popups.

I know it's nothing new. I've got a couple of firefox plugins that are usually quite good at hiding this sort of nonsense, but I guess they failed me today (or, I shudder to think, there were even more that were blocked, and this is what got through)

What's the worst new/not-signed-in user experience you've encountered recently?

The absolute lack of any kind of consistency with layout or alignment makes me cringe too.

My guess is they're all built by different teams that didn't reuse any of the code written by the other teams. Ideally you're supposed to have a design system with standards for this, but I think all the good developers left (or were fired from) Twitter when Musk took over.
