Oooh, here’s a sneaky #design thing. At certain browser widths, the itv dot com website initially loads with the “Manage, Reject, Accept” button arranged vertically, but shortly re-lays out the buttons horizontally. The effect is that if you were intending to hit the “Reject” button, you end up hitting the “Accept” button.
I’m pretty sure this is unintentional, caused by overeager “responsive” website code, but the net effect is still bad.
Real nice NYTimes

I just need to whine a bit about a UX thing that ALWAYS gets me... please behold: the most unexpected clickable region! If you tap in this seemingly empty background area, it takes you to the “More Apple News Top Stories" page. #UX #antipattern
Just a friendly reminder that infinite scroll is an anti-pattern, and that building ethical social media is about more than ownership, algorithms, and licensing: Respecting users' time and not replicating patterns deliberately designed to create addiction is equally important. https://indieweb.org/infinite_scroll
When you say, “I have no words” to describe some stupid thing the fash are doing, that’s an #AntiPattern.
Their objective is to stun you into silence.
“sharing unreviewed content that has been artificially generated with other people is rude.
Slop is the ideal name for this #AntiPattern.”

I thought this #UX #AntiPattern has already died, but some unfortunate websites still use this nonsense input styling where inputs look like links and the labels look like placeholders and things animating around for no good reason, but ... yeah ... still some left ...
If someone wants to know why this is wrong, give this #WebbedBriefs a view:
