I don't know what the problem with Discord is. It isn't that different than it was before and it's actually easier to navigate now. Maybe it's just because I hadn't been using it much before the change?
They all want to give you just enough control to make you think you chose what their algorithm recommended for you.
YouTube isn't even following material design 3...
The one competition I can win against all big corporations
The competition in making the worst ui?
Yes
What's bad about discord?
The app has gone absolutely down the shitter after they decided it should mirror other shitty apps instead of the desktop experience. Desktop I'd argue isn't as much worsened, but there's still annoying details like the omnipresent gift button.
The new UI on mobile app is awful. Less intuitive, slower and buggy. I don't know how they did this, but sometimes it takes even a few seconds to switch between views (eg. from servers to DM)
Discord's UI is bad?
The mobile app
mobile app is super bad.
Steams is bad too.
All these services had decent, simple, sleek UIs.
and then some dumb motherfucker came in and was all "K.I.S.S.? Whats that? We don't need that trash! Lets make it flashy and stupid and annoying to use!"
There was recently an update to the mobile app that was very poorly received
Discord user of 5 years, use it daily, I've had the update for a week or more, and I'm still fumbling with buttons to find what I'm looking for. It's really badly done.
One button left called "Watch Ad" and it spans the whole screen.
Honestly discords UI is pretty good its just weirdly missing some features entierly.
Does not apply to the mobile app
I've been using Discord since 2016.
I just found out on Wednesday that you can group servers by dragging and dropping them on top of each other to make a folder.
Makes me wonder how many of their quality of life features there are that most aren't aware of.
If the aim is to drive users towards brainless engagement with arbitrary content, they're great.
But for UX they're dogwater.
