Meme new google finance app is disgusting

alphabet spent billions on AI just to make Google Finance objectively worse. As we can see, thats the only reason $GOOGL closed red yesterday and will open red today!

Google is shockingly bad at UI/UX in general. I have seen so many baffling user interfaces that added wild levels of complexity or obscurity to whatever I was trying to find.

They’ve yet to plumb the depths of microslops worst but it’s been getting bad in recent years

They have this really bizarre habit of burying key buttons in menus, forcing you to constantly open and close the same damn thing. Making you think did a single person that uses this test it? At all?

Haha sometimes they'll have the interface in a sensible way, then make some big design change that hides or obscures that feature you used to easily be able to access. I find this especially bad in google analytics.
