>Does bad UI make more money? You may have a point there. Netflix has got to be the absolute nadir of bad UI design: horizontal scrolling as a feature, majority of content hidden, some content which reveals itself on rollover --other content which has to be clicked on, autoplaying videos on hover, elements which push other elements aside if you accidentally mouse over them, etc. etc. It's almost like someone decided to deliberately combine every element of bad user interface design into one atrocious lump of crap. And what makes it worse is that, not only is Netflix hugely successful, but everyone else now is copying their fuck-awful design, seemingly in the mistaken belief that it's a "winner". Amazon Prime has similar [lack of] usability and the BBC has also crippled their iPlayer interface, of late, by changing it to ape Netflix. And, if we're talking bad UI design in general. You'd also have to go a long way to beat eBay. In addition to various interface 'quirks' which seem designed to deliberately annoy the user, their site reminds me of V'Ger in the Star Trek film [0]. It seems to be an accretion consisting of various mis-matched elements, many dating back to more primitive times.
