We've all heard about crappy design, something that turns a blind eye to user-friendliness, logic and common sense, aesthetics, and people in general. We’re talking billboards, TV ads, product packaging and product design, websites and apps, you name it.

The phenomenon of crappy design is that no matter how much our marketing strategies and advertising techniques have evolved in the past decades, it still finds its place in our daily lives. Check out some examples of crappy design in Bored Panda’s previous features here, here and here.

This time, we are taking a step further. Sometimes the design is so annoying, senseless and defunct that it seems like the brands are doing this deliberately or at least without shame. There’s even a whole corner of reddit dedicated to cases “when a*** design things.”

With a whopping 2.9 million members, the community pokes fun at the mentality that “nothing comes before profit, especially not the consumer.” Below, we wrapped up some of the evilest designs, so let us know what you think of them in the comments!

    Bad design can be found everywhere, from the products we use every day to the websites we visit. Poorly designed products can be difficult to use, causing us to waste time and energy. They can also be dangerous, as faulty product or packaging designs can lead to accidents.

    Meanwhile, websites with bad design can be hard to navigate, preventing us from finding the information we need. They can also be visually unappealing, making us less likely to return. At the same time app can have a very bad user experience which means people will be reluctant to use it. From confusing navigation to cluttered layouts, anyone can spot a very poor design.

    Pinterest is a cesspool. I found some of my facebook photos had been uploaded on pinterest. A girl (wannabe maker/influencer/scammer) reuploaded them with her watermark and used them as example of her creations. Had to subscribe to the website to report the images, and after weeks of waiting... nothing happened. Zero answers, support or even an automated mail. In the meanwhile those images were stolen by others and popped around for a while on other websites, mostly on ads of promoting scams. Stopped uploading my work anywhere.

    Jerk designs seem to take a step further than simply bad designs and come across as downright unethical and immoral. They snuck their way into the products and services we consume, and sometimes we don’t even notice them.

    According to Danny Sapio, the lead product designer at Method and cofounder of Confettihabits.com, shrinkflation is a classic case of less product and more profit. “Companies use this tactic to discreetly sell less of a product at the same price that it was before.”

    Moreover, Sapio argues that “companies can do this through labeling by displaying “FAMILY SIZE” or “PARTY SIZE” despite it being the same amount as the regular item.” For us, the unsuspecting shoppers, it’s something that’s really easy to miss.

    Another great example of jer design practices is the use of lethal enforcers. They require the user to take the action that the company wants before they can do what they intend to do.

    “Lethal enforcers are essentially a way that companies gatekeep the decision making for users. Instead of giving users a free choice, the company decides for the individual the decision that should be made then makes that their only choice,” Sapio explained.

    An example of a lethal enforcer is when you want to write a review on Yelp but have to download the brand’s app first. “Or when a company suppresses relevant search results to display sponsored products or content.”

    Another very shady design practice is throttling. “Throttling is when a company intentionally downgrades the service or product with the hopes that the customer upgrade. This is different than forced obsolescence because the product still works; it’s just much slower and shittier than it used to be,” the product designer explained.

    It turns out that even giant brands like Apple have been found guilty of this. Apple has settled a class-action lawsuit over its practice of slowing down older iPhones, agreeing to pay up to $500 million to impacted consumers.

    “Another example is ‘unlimited’ data providers that sneakily slow down internet speeds once they pass a certain threshold of data usage,” Sapio concluded.

    Not necessarily with small, upstart channels. Ones with little to no following tend to get downvotes the most because people don't like the quality, the content itself or the person isn't comfortable being on camera yet, or any sort of silly reason. Or it could be from people who know the person behind the channel and have a personal issue with them. Commenting is actually more affective at getting your opinion across as then the creator can see what can be improved and what is working with viewers.

    This. So much this. I follow a few moderately-known channels and before the dislike button got blindfolded, there used to be so many dislikes when they said something that offended a certain group of people. And I'm not even saying that they were offensive! They just stated an opinion about something or reacted to a song that was currently trending in being "cancelworthy" and BAM - dislike galore. If some weirdos do that on a huge channel with tons of likes, it just passes by. But on smaller channels, it can easily get them more dislikes than likes for no reason but people being dipsh*its

    It's extremely rare for me to click Dislike on a YouTube video, but when I do, it's because the content was misleading, dangerous, or it contained offensive -isms. Now that the Dislikes are hidden, I will make it a point to include my dislike and reason in the comment section.

    Commenting will throw it back into the algorithm. Dislike "numbers" visually, don't do much, other than let you know if it's worth watching. I rarely leave dislikes as well, but if its something that truly deserves it, its best to just report the video, commenting and likes throw content into the algo. There are tons of options to stop certain content from popping up. I kinda get it, it keeps people from being biased before they watch something. I honestly miss it in shorts tho, a lot of people are hopping back n forth between tiktok, and it causes some really toxic fan bases. Definitely showing up in comments. If you need to, hit the 3 dot button, or go to your yt settings and set it to only what you want to watch. I had the weirdest ish for 2 weeks, until I could get my algo back on track.

    I feel like it's kind of odd that uploaders can still privately check their dislikes, though. Wouldn't it be less emotionally discouraging for uploaders if they did away with the whole concept of the dislike button, if they're already doing it publically? I could be wrong.

    You should really know that many channels WANT you to dislike it. Because of the broken algorithm ANY interaction path the video (like, dislike, comment) drives these videos to more popular and generate more ad revenue. Report and ignore.

    I found it really useful for judging how trustworthy a creator was about the information they give. I find reading people very difficult and don't really trust my instincts when it comes to believing people or not, so the dislikes really helped me know whether a person's ideas were good or not actually harmful. Now I have no way to know and has made accessing information much harder

    Read the comments. if all you had were the dislikes to make a decision on the trustworthiness, that's not really helpful at all. There might be millions of upvotes for utter bullcrap that no reasonable person watches (which means few dislikes) and it is still utterly wrong. And if the comment-section has no actual conversation-value and only shows one side of a topic - ... actually, you should really invest a ltitle bit more into researching topics across the board, nut just youtube. I mean that kindly, but really... don#t just believe something because he/she has a big fanbase and they are charming and say a lot of words. if you want videos, try yourself on subjects you know about, find channels that say the right things about this subject, learn how to spot truth and facts and then proceed to more complicated things. But please - don't just believe the snake-oil salesmen!

    There is an actual issue ongoing on YT where smaller content creators are targeted by dislike attacks. Which make them practical invisible for the major audience. There should be a report video option available. If only people weren't so busy so they could and would actually use this report button instead of just clicking dislike. Oh wait you are all bored pandas so from now on forth to be less bored actual report content if a report is needed. The majority probably replies with hell no right now. Hit the dislike button moved on and forgot about it already. And yes those two unskippable adds are annoying. So I always get myself a drink and take a break to stretch my legs. Return to my pc with coffee and rewind the video I want to watch

    So you'll know everyone hates you, but you are the only one to know ? That means they spare you the embarrassment of having been completely humiliated in front of millions of people, for having posted something questionable... 🤔

    Yeah, I'm sure their reason for removing the dislike visibility is exactly what they're saying. It can't possibly have anything to do with them having their official "YouTube Rewind" videos become the most-disliked video ever 3 years in a row due to them abandoning the community-content focus present in the earlier years to instead feature traditional media figures like Will Smith...

    I've seen a content creator say that creators can still see the dislike numbers, so the only people who can't see it are the viewers (who don't really care, in general), and does nothing to reduce the impact on creators at all

    What sucks is clicking the dislike button will still generate more similar content into your feed as opposed to just ignoring it. You may as well just click the like button.

    Every web action, response, input, reaction, or interaction, including pausing to look, is recorded, cross-indexed with all the other data known about you and people like you, and used to manipulate into acting against your own self interest. The notion that Google and its ilk care about how anyone feels about anything is so naive as to suggest either childhood or mental illness.

    You're actually better off not clicking anything for videos that are scams. Even a dislike feeds the algorithm and pushes the video higher in searches.

    Reminds me of Pizza Pizza. Every now and then their site's online delivery ordering doesn't work. It just stays buffering or crashes when you want to pay. When you call in to report the issue (not order) they immediately start an order for you, and don't want to listen about their website. When you say you want the same deal with the online coupon they tell you it's only available on the website. I've refused making an order when that happens.

    No, we can’t. The toilets are always kept clean, an attendant is always on duty and no-one is ever just hanging around in there doing god knows what. If the bogs are open, an employee is there somewhere. It’s also a lot safer - I’d rather use a paid toilet at the railway station late in the evening than anywhere else.
