Haha, you think those are bad? Try any professional tools, like CAD’s, DAW’s, or 3d modelling software.
Or, even worse, any internal corporate software, the bigger and the older the company is, the better… at being the worst, that is.
Or. actually, just go to an any airline’s office to buy a ticket and witness the atrocity they have on their monitors. No, those are not blue screens of death. That bunch of gibberish is the actual UI. And the only way to interact with it is by typing in commands that read like something that Lovecraftian creatures would sound like.
Those systems are so much faster and more reliable than the bubbly shit we have now. All that crap on the screen is what we call “information density.” It’s designed for people who work with it several hours a day and understand it, not for some random to be able to learn in 15 minutes. It has a longer learning curve, but is way more efficient in the end.
The secret ingredient is enshittification.

What’s bad about discord?
For YouTube, use FreeTube, Tubular or LibreTube if you like native clients or Piped and Invidious if you prefer a website.
It’s best not to use Reddit at all, but if you need it for some reason, check out Libreddit or this site
Unfortunately not much can be done to avoid Discord’s terrible UI other than not using it. The Matrix protocol and Element client are pretty nice alternatives.
