@adele At least this time many clients know it's a bad ideas, but they "need It to show the investors they are not left behind on the Ai train"

@adele Thank you for this great post! It's kind of depressing to be honest... these people you're talking about know that carousels and chatbots and whatever is the current fad of the day are useless and only serve to annoy people, and they implement it anyway because everybody else has them too. Like you, I wouldn't have any idea how to convince them otherwise. But that's how the web became what it is today, because everybody is doing the same thing that everybody else is doing even though everybody else knows it doesn't make sense either. I agree with you, the only thing you can do is plant the seed and wait.

@adele it's almost like these people are conditioned to accept only slow-loading, bloated websites, and get this uncanny valley feeling, when no pop-up pops up on them, page load takes less than a blink of an eye, and there are no elements jumping out of view because of some JS relayout. I feel sorry for them. I'm worried they would get heart attack or sth just by browsing the web with an ad-blocker.

@adele That's what passes for "innovation" and "disruption" these days. Pack mentality as a service.

@adele@social.pollux.casa 100% I saw the same thing with other fads like 3D printing and VR. Everyone wanted it, nobody used it.
