"User-Friendly" was a term that became a fad for a while in all computer ads and articles and then thankfully faded away.

It got so bad that one writer suggested that when you hit the words 'user-friendly" that you substituted the equally-meaningless words 'lemon-scented', and it would be just as valid.

On the other hand, the fad for seeking out weak and exaggerated causal relationships, in order to write an article with a click-baity title, seems to be growing apace.

why post article that requires paid membership?
