This year's UI/UX trends have been an absolute disaster. Many brands are now using some kind of an amalgamation of animations + on-scroll effects that transition into this linear 3D experience. Replit is a good example of this, even though what they are doing is quite tame to what I have seen.

Now, the crazy thing about this trend is that I honestly just close the page whenever I encounter it. And I am 100% positive that many other people do this, too. So, unless your brand has outstanding reputation and you were introduced to their service through word of mouth, a lot of these bombastic landing pages are left to rot by themselves.

And lastly, these pages are supposed to leave you feeling something, or at the very least - fire up a neuron or two in your brain because the experience is refreshing. I have not experienced that a single time. And I bookmark quite a lot of random pages I am inspired by from a design perspective.

Probably because those trends are set by UI designers sitting in ivory towers.

If UI trends were instead set by people who actively used sites over and over for their day job, they would be far more appropriate and effective.
