When we got healthcare.gov it was pretty much this, maybe worse actually. Website was unusable and delivered like 5% of the requirements. It was pretty bad and people were pissed.

Of course in typical American government fashion, the task was outsourced to some companies in the private sector. Which then took 2 years to do it, went way over budget, and still delivered nothing.

While this issue is complicated and caused by a variety of factors I believe it is indicative of the quality we are going to be seeing in the coming decades. Well, that plus ads. The ads will always work.
