I'm always amazed how badly designed software is. To the point that anyone trying to use the damn thing could point out problems within 10 seconds. I was shopping for a replacement bathroom fan on home depot website. I just want to find one that will fit in the old hole. You would think I would be able to filter by the actual size of the box. But no, its not apparent at all what their listed measurements refer to. Just give me a drawing with the dimension of the box. Thats all. Better yet, take the fan out of the box and showing me some pictures with measurements. But nope. Every fan has different included information. And this is after a year of Corona. And everyone needing to shop online.
- bombela 6y agoThis is so painfully true. Try sorting screws by size next...

- numpad0 6y agoShops like you described for B2C markets existed in the past. All voted out by wallets.
- bombela 6y agoI have trouble understanding how much cheaper it is to simply not sort objects into the right categories. I guess it must be significantly cheaper at scale. But it's such a waste of time for everybody it's infuriating.
- ethanwillis 6y agoCheaper for who is the question. Businesses now increase profits by externalizing costs.
- numpad0 6y agoCan't rule out this hypothesis that hiding information might be driving sales more than it would save expenditures, e.g. fear stimulating compulsive buying.
- Held_der_Arbeit 6y agoAre you sure it was wallets, and not shorted stocks?
