    I often decide I don’t actually need what I was about to purchase when I run into this, and I close out the browser tab and move on.

    …I guess in some weird way, the poor experience benefits me!

      I can hear it now. My kid’s generation is gonna be giving each other shit like "wait, you bought this off a website? Like a millennial?"

        Ah, yes. I keep hearing more and more of people buying merchandise through TikTok among some other seemingly app-only interfaces.

        I miss “old internet” :(

          Two years ago I bought one pair of shoelaces from a website that looked like the old internet. It was fucking great.
