The monopoly movie chain in my country "updated" their pages to be "better".

Now it's so bad that some chad created their own overlay for the site where you can actually see all the showtimes for a specific movie on a single page instead of having to click through 42 different showings one by one.

Because doing it manually sucks? Every website shoves a different bunch of dark patterns in your face, everything is buggy, nobody ever thinks about UX.

Poor UX. The internet used to be designed around ease of use. Now it's dark patterns, advertising, nag windows, and "engagement." Retailers don't offer a way to aggregate info easily, so it means wading through piles of shit to find relevant information. Bots can eliminate all the shitty parts about using the internet. That's a big time saver, but it's also a big headache saver.
