Say what you want, but I don't understand, how did Amazon become so rich with the UGLYEST and most user unfriendly website ever created.
@LukeAlmighty Blind dude here
What I've noticed is, the more widely-used and popular a website or piece of software is, the less the devs care about its UI and UX actually being usable for new users.
Either because they think someone else will help you, or because they can just throw a bunch of annoying tutorial popups that just get in your way. Either way it annoys me to no end.

Ok... What do you mean by blind?
@LukeAlmighty It's a bit tough to explain in detail in a single post
But I was born with a degenerative condition. I can still see enough to navigate during the day but I basically need a screen reader to write and just rely on muscle memory and tactile key switches to type.
So, not *fully* blind but definitely *very* blind
@acidiclight
Thank you. I was just a bit confused about a blind guy talking about designing UI.
And I wanted to know, what kind of topics are ok to talk about.
@LukeAlmighty With my blindness? I'm generally open about it to people who ask/who are curious.
Blind jokes are reserved for close friends who understand my condition though. :P
