Just as the title asks I’ve noticed a very sharp increase in people just straight up not comprehending what they’re reading.

They’ll read it and despite all the information being there, if it’s even slightly out of line from the most straightforward sentence structure, they act like it’s complete gibberish or indecipherable.

Has anyone else noticed this? Because honestly it’s making me lose my fucking mind.

    To be fair, that’s learned helplessness.

    How many times have you said ‘yes yes, just click through that, jeeze’?

    There is so damn much horrible shitty UX out there; 90% of the time users are just trained out of using common sense, and you can’t blame them for it.

    That other 10% though, goddamn. I swear if you moved their doorknob an inch to the left they’d starve to death in their home.
