Contemporary online shop experience:
* country selector (sizes and weights still in some gobbledygook) 🇸🇪
* cookie banner 🍪
* newsletter? Get 15% off! 📬
* spring sale!!! 💸
* scratch here and win a prize!!!
* AI agent 🕵️♂️
Once you’ve made it through this attack on your mental health, while browsing their catalogue, their site slowly crawls to a halt. 🥳
“No one wants to buy anything anymore!” 🤷♂️

@zeank@mastodon.social I actually have a better online shopping experience with noscript and guessing which domains I need to activate for minimal functionality. It's still annoying, but the other version is worse.

@zeank@mastodon.social if you enjoy coffee check out jbkaffe.de for a shopping detox. Every single time I order, it’s pure joy. You put coffee in cart. You enter your address. You get coffee and a paper invoice. That’s it. No newsletter. No popups. No bullshit. Just some craftsperson in Bavaria. among the best roasteries in Europe and cheaper than most of those too
