That video's bullshit. People prefer old UIs because modern ui is shit, not because they're not creative.

Computer programs are tools. It doesnt do anyone any good if they're unusable in the name of chasing moronic trends.

		I have a theory that corporations make new UIs to entertain people through them. First, to create the feeling that something is happening, and second, to increase screen time. Old interfaces were far more practical for getting work done, and therefore obviously boring. For me, as someone who is supposed to use technology as a tool and not as a source of amusement, the new interfaces of the major OSes feel unacceptable. But the other billion people chatting and scrolling are the real consumers, not me — and as a result, we now have the interfaces we have.

		Like almost all bullshit that is believable by a multitude, it is couched in some very small truths.

I don't really understand GP's message. User's comment history seems pretty normal, why would they drop a random IG link here? Wrong article?

The link is to a designer talking about how technology has led us to a design world that is mostly driven by nostalgia. I personally don’t see it as being applicable here as it deals with big design houses not hobbies, but I can see why someone might think it is.

To anyone interested in the video, but without an Instagram account, gramsnap sometimes works. (Imginn.com sometimes works for viewing IG profiles.)

		The video is a word salad of self-aggrandizement and judgement. Don't bother. The dude holds up fashion as if it is some paragon of virtue.
