The dystopian future of web browsing is upon us! What used to be a simple "click and read" has evolved into a psychological obstacle course where the actual content is buried beneath 11 layers of digital garbage. Step 12 is where the real programming happens - debugging your own mental state after the browser equivalent of running through a minefield of dark patterns. By the time you reach step 13, you've completely forgotten your original query because your brain's stack has overflowed with popup-closing operations. The irony? We frontend developers created this monster. We implemented those cookie banners, subscription modals, and location trackers that we ourselves despise. It's like we're trapped in an infinite recursive function of our own making with no base case in sight!

THE ABSOLUTE AUDACITY of video platforms to default to "Auto" quality when I have the bandwidth of a SPACE STATION! 😤 Nothing—and I mean NOTHING—is more infuriating than watching a pixelated mess for 10 seconds before realizing you need to manually click that stupid settings wheel and select 1080p like some digital peasant from 2005. It's the modern equivalent of blowing into Nintendo cartridges, except I HAVE FIBER INTERNET FOR A REASON! The struggle between crystal clear Walter White and his blocky, pixelated doppelgänger is the true face of first-world suffering.
