Material Design v1 cracked it. It was simple to implement, simple to understand and simple to use. Minimal overheads with a clear content-first approach.

"It's time to move beyond “clean” and “boring” designs to create interfaces that connect with people on an emotional level."

I don't want websites and apps to connect with me on an emotional level. I want to turn my phone/computer on, use the app/program to achieve what I'm trying to do, and turn it off again, so I can get back to the real world.

Material design v1 is the reason we have extremely low information density and extreme whitespace everywhere.

Just compare the original Gmail UI to the one Google has now. Or original Adwords admin page to the one they launched 2-3 years ago. Its a regression in every possible way.

And apple is also not far behind in enshittyfying their UIs in order to merge the Desktop and the Smartphone paradigms into one.

This is the worst phase in UX/UI history we have ever witnessed.
