I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

    Those carousels on Netflix/Prime TV apps displaying the trailer if you stay 1sc on an item. So annoying, forced to keep moving back and forth to watch the movie image

      Yes, and not just that … like, making sure to keep the cursor away from the images all the time because hovering over an image immediately plays some trailer including audio.

      Generally, playing media elements without explicit triggers by the user is annoying, but this is the worst.

      Like, who thought this was a good idea?

      This is more UX than UI but the inconsistent volume is a nightmare, adding insult to injury. Everything I want to be equal or quieter is way louder.

      Also related to streaming services: the horizontal scrolling layout the movies are displayed in is the absolute worst thing that has come to streaming services. It's bad to search in, it is uncomfortable to scroll and it displays too little items.

      I don't know who is responsible for horizontal scrolling UIs to begin with, but I hate them. Carousels work on mobile where there is touch, and absolutely gargle balls on desktop.
