I understand the business needed to grow headcount during pandemic but couldn't they have grown headcount more responsibly to avoid these layoffs? Or are these things just too hard to judge?

saos··on Dear Spotify, stop treating your users like testers
Oh boy, I'm planning to write something around Reddit testing for mobile app and web app. I'm sick and tired of their testing and horrible dark UX pattern.

* Screen take over to force push notifications so I can view my own notification!!!!!! (Mobile)

* Creating new tabs when tapping on threads (Web)

* Removing notification alert from homepage (Mobile web)

If you want a lesson in dark UX patterns and poor testing...just visit Reddit
