the user thought the left menu of wordpress was massive?

the user thought the menus of GIMP and Photoshop were way too much?

users have not seen the eBay GUI yet: it definately win’s the “most complicated fucked up GUI award of the century” X-D (this user bet’s it’s on purpose? to make users buy more new via Amazon and less second hand via eBay) it has not 1, it has not 2 it has 5 menus masks forms whoever screwed up ebay so badly should be fired immediately. ebay needs a complete relaunch. it is too complicated (like modern cars ON PURPOSE)

in addition to the pain: some finance lobbyists (biggest group in Berlin and Brussels?)

have successfully campaigned to limit sales of second hand equipment to 2000 bucks a year

“hurray” this is basically anti sustainability laws, as it will scare away a lot of users from second hand selling online basically destroying second hand online markets

guess who does not give a damn about all of this: CHINA
