This design looks so cheap to me, it's just a bunch of random covers, there is no information about the movies presented in any way, the covers are way too big and take up an inordinate amount of space and there is nothing breaking up sections, design is just so fucking dumb now, fuck mobile

rant over ๐Ÿ˜…

screenshot of the hbo max web site, it's just large screen shots of movie covers, not even the official movie covers just random ones some that look like shit, it looks really cheap

Yeah but they don't have highly paid UX design teams, so they're probably just copying design choices on the basis that they're trying to offer people a similar experience they can own.

    That's bullshit. These are basic design principles they teach in every single design school in the world. You don't need "highly paid design teams" you just need someone with some education.

    And this design philosophy has apparently invaded every single corporation on Planet Earth, so I really have no fucking idea where designers are even employed lately.

    That's because they employ you and then force you to do bullshit things
