I really want to know what made big companies decide for us that we suddenly wanted flat design. What started it? Was it Windows 8? At the very least, that's when I first noticed it. How do we make it stop?
>>
>>57824890
I don't think "Don't be evil" is still a corporate slogan, although I've only been here for two years. They have other weird corporate lingo instead, though. They unironically talk about "being Googley." If you're a new Googler, you're a "Noogler." If you have a dog, you're a "Doogler." If you're gay, you're a "Gaygler." If you're old, you're a "Graygler." They call stretching "taking a gPause." I promise I'm not making any of this shit up.

20% projects aren't measured in any real way. I have a "20% project" and I basically told my team "I'm gonna work on this" and they said "OK." Last week I didn't work on it at all, next week I'll probably work on it more.

I knew going in not to buy into hype since I've worked at this kind of company before, but they're way more cult-like than I was expecting.

Whenever someone tells a new employee to "ask someone what it means to be Googley" I just bite my tongue, laugh in my head, then take an incredibly expensive nap.

>>57825104
I doubt that would fly obviously, but it's basically whoever starts a club/mailing list for whatever group first.

There's also a thing called "memegen" which is just an internal tool for posting text over images that get shared internally.

Good lord that's cancerous. I was working with a guy in the field from Google who was trying to explain basic shit to me in a completely condescending way before we even started working. He also used the phrase "touch base" like three thousand times in the two hours he was around me. The whole thing was very off-putting. I could practically smell the creepy corporate culture on him.

Yeah there's a lot of weird corporate stuff. The worst people are the ones who have only ever worked at Google. They usually go all-out and participate in all the corporate events (even the ones without free booze).

The people who have worked at other tech giants (Oracle, MIcrosoft, Facebook, Amazon, IBM, etc.) seem to recognize it for what it is, which is a company that has a lot of boring work (unless you're lucky), disorganized management, and an obsessive company culture, but pays reasonably well, has fantastic benefits, and doesn't micromanage you.

Either way it's better than my last job, but I'm just chilling until I find the right place to go next.

Perhaps.

The other thing I guess I didn't mention is that they hate moonlighting/personal projects/etc. They have a very intense non-compete, which applies to anyone outside of California. Employees outside of CA cannot contribute to OSS or release anything that could be considered in their market (which is pretty much everything) while employed at Google.

Flat design is the absolute lack of 3D effects, including such things as gradients, rounded corners, and anything that might make something "pop out." Individual, solid colors and perfect rectangles only. It's bad because it's boring and ugly. In high school, my web design teacher actually made us do a project with flat design because it's "the way of the future."

>>57825676
>Literally nothing on the whole page and yet its the most popular page going
Because there never needed to be anything on the whole page, retard. YouTube is much more complex, needing the video itself, related videos, the description, and the comments. Leaving a lot of empty space and forcing the user to scroll for more content is just a stupid design choice.

I feel it was an overreaction to Scott Forstall taking the skeuomeme too far. They ousted him and at the same time Microsoft actually did something different (albeit terrible) by debuting their flat design. Apple doubled down on flat, once in response to Microsoft and showing they could do it """"better"""" and once to indicate a departure from Forstall. As is often with the case with these things, the response gathered inertia and became it's own more powerful meme and you see the situation today - 'authentically digital' cancer.

Actually I've noticed analogous overreactions in other aspects of global culture. One that particular irks me is the T H I C C meme which to me is a response to the heroin chic look that proceeded it. Kate moss as the figurehead on a diet of cocaine and champagne only to be replaced by an army of silicone """""enhanced"""" booties led by nicki memenaj on another slutwalk: you sure showed us gals

It's kinda insane if you think about it.

Especially because more and more gaming youtubers, as in the biggest group of youtubers, are switching to Twitch and stuff like vid.me and streamable is also getting used a lot by normal users now.

They've been sitting on their monopoly for a long time now but I honestly think youtube could potentially lose a lot of users soon if they don't start making some good features again.

I disagree. You're looking at this from a sociological perspective, but I think it has more to do with biology. Before the whole 'brazilian buttlift' technology, you just didn't have that many women who had these outlandishly huge butts on otherwise thin frames. But now these procedures allow women to 'hack' mens' biology, in the sense that they can now achieve proportions that would otherwise only be present in an incredibly small percentage of genetic freaks.

Not that guy but everything you said also has a societal effect, women trying to be more attractive to their potential partners is an essential part of societal relations between genders, also don't forget that cocaine diet models provoked criticism which led to the media trying to get PR points via criticizing fashion standards which "caused" anorexia on young girls and that also contributed to the thicc meme.

No wonder they're getting worse. I sort of respect their lack of micromanagement and easy going style, but it seems to only encourage fakes to join the culture and produce nothing innovative or useful.

They almost sounds like a technological aristocracy. If you know enough, and know the right people, you get to do whatever you want in a company that makes money off getting people's attention and tracking behavior.

>>57826025
That's fascinating. I always hated the flat design, and the 'modern' design of websites. They always feel somehow less easy to use, despite seeming more simplified.

>>57823562

I'd guess that at some point people working at Google (especially managers) thought that the very fact that they work there makes them absolutely amazing, no matter what they actually do (or don't do).

Get over it holy shit.

3d buttons, grandients and using all available space is not coming back.

Companies want a consistent design across all plattforms. 10 years ago smartphones as we know them today did not exist and the main way to access the internet was using a desktop computer.
Web design was still changing on a yearly basis, sometimes grandients were popular and trendy and then the next year it was glossy 3d buttons again. As it looks right now, web design is moving towards simplistic, mimimal UI placement which gives you basic navigations elements using few colors and a lot of contrast telling you exactly what button does what. Instead of putting as much of functionality in as little as possible space, only give the user what he uses 90% of the time and hide all other functionality behind extra buttons.

You guys need to understand.. While these changes may look awful and pointless to you tech savy guys. The average normie will be totally fine with it and appreciate bigger and more colorful buttons.

Is it so hard to understand that you guys are the minority?

>>
>>57829022
Shit is always shit no matter how you look at it, duh. But in the mentioned period web design was already mature and out of the 90s babby period, there was also more processing power available on the typical Pentium 4/XP desktop so that more complex, but still well-optimized pages could work efficiently. Then after 2007 things kinda started to get worse (maybe the tryhard-"modern" UIs introduced with Vista and the original iPhone were a factor here), and then since 2012 (hello "Metro") it just all went down the shitter.

This is a moot argument, as those you're talking about are mere sheep who were conditioned to "appreciate" whatever is being thrown at them. Those who are pushing it on to everyone are the driving force here, not the normie masses who are going to be fine with anything really as they don't think too much about stuff and don't have any real preferences except to associate with whatever is being considered "modern" or "fashionable" at a given time.

If you don't understand the use for empty space you have no right to talk about design and should honestly kill yourself.

I don't know guys, as much as I dislike modern flat design, some of the older designs just don't work out very well anymore, especially when browsing via a phone or tablet. And I know, >phone or tablet, but you cannot deny that they're a big part of the world now and so websites have to be designed accordingly.

A lot of these older sites after checking them out feel like they puke out a lot of information at you right from the homepage, which is very nice if you're familiar with where you're going, but is still unwelcoming.

Man, rose-tinted glasses are one hell of a drug, navigating some of these places is very difficult on my phone just to zoom in to click links. Would be miles easier on a desktop, however.

>>57829934
see you might have a point if these websites weren't also all bloated crap that even higher end phones struggle to display sometimes
if you ask me, pinching and zooming beats tapping part of a screen only to have something different immediately load underneath your finger because the page was still in the middle of loading seventeen javascript libraries
>>
>>57830027
Yeah, I absolutely agree with you there.

I think good website design just boils down to incorporating necessary new elements fit for the modern world while maintaining as much practicality the older designs had: basically a middle ground.

To say that older websites were a pinnacle of design still completely and 100% functional today (some really are just plain outdated) is just a bit of an overstatement I was seeing from this thread, is all.

But that begs the question: is modern design really who should get all the blame or is it just bloat?

I reckon again, it's almost always somewhere between the two in a painfully frustrating combination.

When you get to the master level of design you are allowed to break the rules. Something like this must be impossible for you to understand of course.

Are we? Ever since 2013, YouTube has been getting very vocal criticism from a significant portion of the userbase about layout designs and video algorithms.

>As it looks right now, web design is moving towards simplistic, mimimal UI placement which gives you basic navigations elements using few colors and a lot of contrast telling you exactly what button does what. Instead of putting as much of functionality in as little as possible space

it's not flat design, it's material design

Except that Google, owner of Youtube, employs more gays than Apple. And not only that, Google is pushing gay rights across the world. Google also featured gay people on official Android YT channel and they even aired a TRANNY commercial during the superbowl.

When it comes to faggotry, Google's the king, not Apple.

i mean, honestly i dont have anything against minimalistic design, it can look nice and it can work but jesus christ youtube is going to drop the ball too hard soon. the thing that i fear is that twitch is probably going to step in as the new youtube.
