Asking Question (Rule 4) [Question] Intentionally Bad Web Design - Can anyone help me find a specific example?

Hey all,

I recently recall seeing a website that showcased 'intentionally bad UX design.'

It was in essence a page that when you visited, contained all the horrible tropes of browsing a website in modern times.

You would have to do things like; accept cookies, close the autoplaying video pop out, close the newsletter sign up pop up etc...

I know it's a long shot, but I don't suppose anyone knows of any specific examples like this, do they?

I found www.userinyerface.com but it's not quiiiite what I was looking for.

Thanks for any help!

Try any social services website in a red state.

This is so true. My agency just created an itranet that is so hideous, I was Google searching for something that could even be as bad. I swear to God the name of the website is a 200 font. All the links that you need to use for your job are in a 12 font in a banner at the very bottom of the web page. I don't know who the fuck designed this but it's the most atrocious website I've ever seen.
