We've all heard about crappy design, something that turns a blind eye to user-friendliness, logic and common sense, aesthetics, and people in general. We’re talking billboards, TV ads, product packaging and product design, websites and apps, you name it.

The phenomenon of crappy design is that no matter how much our marketing strategies and advertising techniques have evolved in the past decades, it still finds its place in our daily lives. Check out some examples of crappy design in Bored Panda’s previous features here, here and here.

This time, we are taking a step further. Sometimes the design is so annoying, senseless and defunct that it seems like the brands are doing this deliberately or at least without shame. There’s even a whole corner of reddit dedicated to cases “when a*** design things.”

With a whopping 2.9 million members, the community pokes fun at the mentality that “nothing comes before profit, especially not the consumer.” Below, we wrapped up some of the evilest designs, so let us know what you think of them in the comments!

    Bad design can be found everywhere, from the products we use every day to the websites we visit. Poorly designed products can be difficult to use, causing us to waste time and energy. They can also be dangerous, as faulty product or packaging designs can lead to accidents.

    Meanwhile, websites with bad design can be hard to navigate, preventing us from finding the information we need. They can also be visually unappealing, making us less likely to return. At the same time app can have a very bad user experience which means people will be reluctant to use it. From confusing navigation to cluttered layouts, anyone can spot a very poor design.

    Pinterest is a cesspool. I found some of my facebook photos had been uploaded on pinterest. A girl (wannabe maker/influencer/scammer) reuploaded them with her watermark and used them as example of her creations. Had to subscribe to the website to report the images, and after weeks of waiting... nothing happened. Zero answers, support or even an automated mail. In the meanwhile those images were stolen by others and popped around for a while on other websites, mostly on ads of promoting scams. Stopped uploading my work anywhere.

    Jerk designs seem to take a step further than simply bad designs and come across as downright unethical and immoral. They snuck their way into the products and services we consume, and sometimes we don’t even notice them.

    According to Danny Sapio, the lead product designer at Method and cofounder of Confettihabits.com, shrinkflation is a classic case of less product and more profit. “Companies use this tactic to discreetly sell less of a product at the same price that it was before.”

    Moreover, Sapio argues that “companies can do this through labeling by displaying “FAMILY SIZE” or “PARTY SIZE” despite it being the same amount as the regular item.” For us, the unsuspecting shoppers, it’s something that’s really easy to miss.

    Another great example of jer design practices is the use of lethal enforcers. They require the user to take the action that the company wants before they can do what they intend to do.

    “Lethal enforcers are essentially a way that companies gatekeep the decision making for users. Instead of giving users a free choice, the company decides for the individual the decision that should be made then makes that their only choice,” Sapio explained.

    An example of a lethal enforcer is when you want to write a review on Yelp but have to download the brand’s app first. “Or when a company suppresses relevant search results to display sponsored products or content.”

    Sapio also urges to look out for one of the trick questions known as the loaded questions. They take an advantage of our good nature. “We assume that we don’t need to read the entire question because we’ve already collected the information we need to answer it.”

    Another very shady design practice is throttling. “Throttling is when a company intentionally downgrades the service or product with the hopes that the customer upgrade. This is different than forced obsolescence because the product still works; it’s just much slower and shittier than it used to be,” the product designer explained.

    It turns out that even giant brands like Apple have been found guilty of this. Apple has settled a class-action lawsuit over its practice of slowing down older iPhones, agreeing to pay up to $500 million to impacted consumers.

    “Another example is ‘unlimited’ data providers that sneakily slow down internet speeds once they pass a certain threshold of data usage,” Sapio concluded.

    Another in a long list of bad acts for YouTube. ---From demonetizing an animator for making an animation with a female character with large breasts because it was too sexual; while still allowing overly sexual ads for mobile games to be advertised by them on monetized channel. --- To Ann Reardon of How To Cook That debunking dangerous cooking 'hacks' and calling for YouTube to require disclaimers on potentially dangerous videos and getting ignored until one day, she makes a video on the dangers of fractal burning and the many videos on YouTube showing how to do it and how 34 people have died attempting it ; but her video was taken down for showing dangerous content while the how to videos remained up. --- To recently a gaming YouTuber CoryxKenshin getting his video on the game Mortuary Assistant age restricted while bigger gaming channels that posted videos of the same game were not age restricted. Leading him to believe that YouTube was playing favorites (1/2)

    (2/2) When Cory reached out to YouTube they unrestricted his video but the damage that can do to a smaller channel was already done (game channels on YouTube need to stay on top of trending games to keep growing , having a video sit restricted for several days is a death nail to it) so he reached out again and asked why his video was restricted and not someone like Markiplier or Jacksepticeye (friends of his) and instead of giving a response, everyone's video got age restricted including his again. --- Hell GameTheory is a massive channel that raises millions of $ for children's hospitals every year on YouTube and even they get treated like second class citizens when it comes to YouTube. MatPat had a chance to interview the CEO but she dodged all of his questions or answered something completely different than what he asked.

    Ahhh... the drama of Astartes was even worse. The creator's channel hacked and stolen and the channel owner couldn't get YouTube to do anything. YouTube claimed that only the current channel operator could file a fraud claim that would open an investigation.

    YouTube's copyright system is broken. Pretty much anyone can file a claim against any channel just because they feel like it.

    Someone did exactly that and almost got some people's accounts permanently banned. They even got the account for a gaming studio's videos flagged for copywrite claims when it is content they themselves have ownership of. Which is probably part of why said studio wound up suing the pants off of the person when they tracked them down.

    Something similar to this happened to Destiny 2 content creators as well as the official channel for Bungie, the studio that created Destiny. It was the work of someone who fraudulently put in a huge amount of copywrite claims and wound up being sued by Bungie when they found him.

    Sometimes I dream of a world where all artists help each other create more beautiful art by sharing with each other, where we can all put a spin on the things we love, and pay it forward by letting other artists use our art. Reality is much more complicated than that. But it's a nice fantasy in a perfect world.

    They will try to offer the craziest deals if only they can get you to stay. It took me 20 minutes to finally cancel.

    I quit Instagram last week. The new shenanigans are more than I can take. I just don't need that much advertising for overpriced t-shirts

    That show is really awesome(I love Lucy) but the advertisements put a damper on it. Honest question, why are they doing this? It's not like they are startups

    Every country should have a law that states that ending an account/subscription must be as easy and convenient as it is to starting it.

    It's because they don't want you to copy and paste the whole thing. They need that definitely not overcharged $300

    Our local chip shop has it's standard menu in the shop and a menu on Just Eat which is about 30% more expensive to reflect the commission it pays. I also notice that free delivery on Just Eat seems to have vanished.

    That one's arguably the stupidest and most impudent so far: You specifically buy bluetooth pods so you're not leashed to your phone and they not only kill that single advantage but have the audacity to advertize with "never needs charging"! OF COURSE I DOESN'T IF THERE'S NO BATTERY AND IT'S CONSTANTLY PLUGGED IN!

    IIRC Europe is (or has?) mandated all phones, tablets etc to use the same cable. Makes sense to me.

    It's not really deceptive. Inflation is happening whether it's a price increase or reduction of product.

    Well lol, if you are age " blockable " you shouldnt be buying anything online, because lets face it, there is 99.9% chances you're using your parents card, and they should be the ones buying it.

    No, we can’t. The toilets are always kept clean, an attendant is always on duty and no-one is ever just hanging around in there doing god knows what. If the bogs are open, an employee is there somewhere. It’s also a lot safer - I’d rather use a paid toilet at the railway station late in the evening than anywhere else.

    Um...no. I despise Walmart, but this isn't even remotely true. The circled area highlighting the missing price tags is an overstock area. You can clearly see the price tags on all the other shelves. That...and this photo was posted on Reddit 2 years ago.
