Developers of the world, unite, and stop listening to sales-folks who say that variety is the spice of life, that you need to make your programs do cute things, like vary the replies it gives. You are only causing yourself more trouble testing, debugging and annoying your users.
Users of the world, unite, and stop wanting stupid cute differentiation replies from programs to make you feel special. You are not special, you are one of very many using the same program, be like normal people and expect the action of something to have the general same reaction so you can see when things go wrong.
I bring this up, as I recently had the Ultimate Ears Blast App, and it was too busy being cute with "just a moment", "hang on in there", "be right with you" bullshit replies to actually work! Yes, it looked to me they were trying too hard to be hip that actually hit the mark!
And YouTube has just done the same thing, check this out....
Same machine, same time, same browser, same YouTube account target... Two different replies... Just to be cute, and one is broken!... GG YouTube, GG Google...
Oh, and has anyone actually ever worked in the YouTube website?... It's a nightmare to navigate, with things hidden and changed, as a content creator, you go to try and get your own home channel, it's a nightmare, you have to view the whole site, select "Library" and then "Home"... You used to be able to press one thing "My Channel/My YouTube", so simple? Why change it?.... To be evil of course.
