I've got two off the top of my head:

First is that the design of the USB drives needing to be oriented up or down was the result of a minor cost cutting choice. The inventor regrets it because it wouldn't been easy made so that USB drives were reversible.

Second is the abundance of pointless SEO stuff on recipe pages. It would be a cool opportunity for the creator to add a personal touch to the recipe page beneath the recipe, but they pop in first along with ads and suggested links. And they're so frustrating to navigate that they had to incorporate a 'jump to recipe' button.

Holy shit when someone wants to show me a video and I see the experience of what most people get it blows my mind these days. I was essentially able to cut out all advertisements out of my life a few years ago and I genuinely think it's had a profound impact on my mental health. How did this shit get so fucking normalized.

    Every time I am forced to see ads where they are otherwise blocked at home (such as at a bank or doctor's office) I see them getting measurably more obnoxious with each months-later snapshot since the last time I saw them. doomer
