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.

MrBeast is the flesh embodiment of this

He is SEO face incarnate and his personal brand is so slippery and slimy that even here on Hexbear I've seen people make excuses for his creepy grifty bullshit because it superficially seems harmless at a surface glance if you don't peel back all the layers of the onion.
