App updates Memes

Initial joy: "Oh look, my favorite app updated!" Five minutes later: *staring at completely redesigned UI where nothing makes sense anymore, features you actually used are gone, and somehow the app is now 3x slower* Nothing quite like that special feeling when developers "fix" something that wasn't broken. Remember when you could just launch an app without having to relearn it every two weeks? Those were the days.

Ah, the classic "it's not a bug, it's a feature" taken to its logical conclusion. This meme perfectly captures the rage-inducing moment when your favorite app decides that the function you relied on daily was actually "cluttering the interface" or some other corporate nonsense. One day you're happily using a feature, the next day it's gone, and the changelog cheerfully announces it as an "improvement." The tank in the lake represents our sunken hopes and dreams of software that doesn't randomly amputate useful parts of itself.

The eternal truth of software development. Product managers be like "Let's remove that useful feature nobody asked for" and suddenly users are storming the gates with pitchforks. Twenty years in this industry and I've seen more "bug fixes" that were actually feature removals than actual bug fixes. The worst part? Six months later they'll reintroduce the same feature as "revolutionary new functionality" in their premium tier. Classic corporate gaslighting at its finest.
