Perhaps this is deliberate? The user "discovers" a new Google app by accidentally clicking on it when they really wanted Gmail or Maps?

- tartoran 4y agoYes, im speculating its distruptive design meant to produce some form of anxiety in the user base, add some hard to pinpoint friction so users pay more of their mental cycles in the said software and cause them stockholm syndrome so they’re hooked. It could also be nothing of this but mere incompetence, producing change to resell the old at a future time. Regardless, it’s all to mess with your mind because as a user you never have the option to keep the old familiar and you always have to relearn stupid interfaces, ocasionally click the wrong button, be forced out of the happy path and sometimes get angry and but options to disable this/that. Im at the point that if something gets annoying I simply drop off. If ads for example become unavoidable Id stop consuming, %99 is utter waste of time anyway. End of rant
