Most People Give Up
I give the real user experience so you can get the real value.
I browse websites and apps while making note of things I find frustrating for end users.
The other post was getting too long, so I will cap out each entry at maybe 15-20 mistakes, to keep your attention.
- Instances where I offer constructive feedback on someone's website, logo, or app.
- Actions that were taken by the developers or artists.

Me using @loom to point out a quirk with Loom
Seems that the reaction area reads it as a lick and not as a check. I want to delete multiple videos to clear up space.https://t.co/539N1XoOW0

Dice E-Mail "Interested" has "Not Interested" page title.
Task: Click the affirmative button.
Okay @Dicedotcom , if you don't want to confuse people, make sure the title of the webpage correlates with the ✅ OR ❌ they click in their email. #Jobsearch #Techhttps://t.co/aZ43ejLOTG

Paypal Currency Conversion Does Not Work from Feb 11th -
Articles on Bing New Tab Page Doesn't Link to The Article
You'll often see a link to an article at the bottom of a new tab you've set to Bing.
— Morgan || ✍🏾 runtcpip.com (@runtcpip) February 21, 2021
It leads to a page where The article in question isn't even there.
This has happened before, but I decided to chronicle it now (The title is sensitive material, so TW)

Basket Does Not Visually Update on Redbubble When You Add Things
It took a while to actually trigger the error, but you'll see when I add the cup to my basket, it doesn't appear in the basket window that pops up, but it is there @RedbubbleHelp https://t.co/Wr7hwg2XnF

Audio Testing Does not Work on Riverside.fm
This is probably a Chrome-exclusive issue. I don't use Chrome normally, so my extensions are off. While the instructions do say that audio testing is available, with both Galaxy Buds and internal microphone (Also screaming into said mics), the visual does not seem to reflect sound. No word on if it even hears me.
Other testing, such as Zoom, works (Somewhat). Company has been alerted.
Research Platform instructions do not show.
Situation: Let's participate in a side hustle.
Task: When you click a task on the left, more details appear in the right pane under normal circumstances.
Action: Today, it doesn't.
Result: Company alerted, issue fixed.
Spotify application acts like mobile App.
Situation: Let's jam!
Task: Play the song of my choice.
Action: On the mobile app, if you select a song without having Premium, it will play a random one.
On the desktop app, it should play the song straight out. When you click it, it plays (in practice).
It currently plays a random song when I am on an unsaved album, and plays a random song in my library on a random basis.
This seems to be a problem when I cast to my Alexa device, which can only be cast to via the Spotify mobile app.
Result: It has been reported with video and fixed.
BBB Twitter Link uses current page instead of a link to a Twitter account.
Situation: Using the BBB website.
Task: Look around
Action: Tried it on several pages for several companies. The url is always based upon the content of the page above, and not 'twitter.com/[handle]
Better Business Bureau (BBB) Twitter link on footer is mangled. It should link to their twitter page, not have their @ be after a url of the location and services of the page I'm on: pic.twitter.com/zxPtG0qm5n

BambooHR Unsubscribe input box does a little dance.
I like text animations too, but maybe not when someone is trying to unsubscribe, @BambooHR?

You leave someone with a bad impression of the brand when they can't simply click a box, and the label shifting and having the : not point at the email is messy.https://t.co/c5D35GQeaM
When you decide to cut ties with an email list, do you want to do so cleanly, or get caught in a two-step routine?

Dscout App Update goes to App in alphabetical order, not actual Play Store.
Situation: "This app has a new update! Please click here to go to the Play Store and update it."
Task: Update app
Action: When you update the app, it's supposed to go to the Play Store.
On my phone, I have another app - Play Affirmations - and it goes to that app instead, probably from some programming language insisting on alphabetical order instead of the intended application.
Response:
Company has been e-mailed, issue Fixed
