they are like craiglist

Man always hated how Amazon never prioritises their UI. They don't seem to have a consistent design system over Amazon retail and AWS website. And don't get me started over their mascot

Yeah they've got too much junk

it shouldn't get a makeover anytime soon, just like Craiglist, for the same reason as Craiglist. It's mostly used by boomers who don't like change or fancy UIs. They only want something that works, that's why corporate software looks ugly as hell.

In this case I'd say that it just works, no need to get fancy about it. You have to take into account that for a company as big as amazon, a complete UI redesign, even if it is made in steps, can bring a ton of problems related to how people interact with the page, and to the interaction of the frontend and backend of the app. Also this is a mobile redesign, they'd have to redesign for every type of screen, again the risk of losing customers due to change can be big. Think about how a lot of big retail sites look kinda the same: amazon, craiglist, ali baba and aliexpress all have this old fashioned "just works" type of design, meaning that most people are already used to it and know how to interact with it.

last line lol

Yeah the change to the Google logo was unneeded and seemed like filler for the video.

the iconic part is probably why its difficult to make HUGE changes. i get someone relalllly high up will need to give an ok lol

I'm honestly surprise by the fact that amazon being a multi-million dollar company has such a terrible UI/UX. It's just bad...

@@ignacioalvarez6382 It feels like it's on purpose to make browsing exhausting... The human brain loses patience and makes worse purchasing decisions. Buys the first thing on a list etc. I really hope I am wrong

Thus from a more strategic standpoint, this design wouldn't work.

It can just expand on click

It also pushes key features further down the page, likely beyond the fold on landscape devices. And uses the design language intended for lists of the same thing to combine non list elements (logo and search bar). He also made the text on the buttons so small that it'll fail accessibility guidelines. In reality, OP just aligned some elements but doesn't really understand what they really represent or usability best practice. The designs are worse than the originals. This is a graphic designer, not a UI designer.

that's the difference between UX and UI

AND They catch your attention enough, so if the content interest you... You'll click it.

much better than those Scroll-Though ads

they are the worst thing in the world if you get one of those blinding white ads while in dark mode though

I use adblock

Only when they don't pop out of nowhere and don't shift the entire content. A lot of blogs/article websites do that and it's extremely annoying

And also I like dark mode, because it by itself is easier for my eyes, but not all apps/websites are adapted to it. So when navigating there is an occasional flashbang effect. So I stick to light mode just to avoid it.

@@go_better You can use a browser extension to force dark backgrounds on every website. It probably won't look pretty, but at least it won't blind you. (If the website is using images with a lot of white, that won't change, though.)

Also just pure aestethic sometimes, I for example like to use dark mode on every website but twitch because I think the twitch purple meshes well with the white

Some sites change their accent colors slightly to adjust to dark/light mode

Exactly! Also, the virtual keyboard pops up as soon as you click in the search box and this causes the position of the box to wobble. The autocomplete dropdown list can only open to the top in this situation. The classic search bar at the top is super easy to find, always stays in that place and just allows for very long lists. Maybe the design teams intentionally implemented it the way it is now. Crazy thought, I know ...

"Kill usability" People who use the app often will adopt to such a change quickly lol. That's not a problem. "A life time" the app hasn't been in existence for that long anyway...

@@xthedanix what if the view scrolls down a bit so the search bar is back on top when you type?

how is it to get used to clicking at a search bar on the screen no matter where it is , thats the lamest excuse ever XD

To keep size of page elements consistent for visual purposes (Or at least that's what I got from it.)

Well, he always claims he's "fixing" them

I think most of his redesigns are pretty good, but the Amazon one is extremely un-user friendly. I can’t stand when a screen has huge tiles on it. Because then you have to scroll forever to find what you’re looking for. Especially on mobile.

You might get copyright issues, for coping elements of website

I don't think there could be a problem

There shouldnt be any problem. He is just showing the home page which counts as free advertising/promotion I guess

Yes! Great idea.

It's easy when you don't need to keep accessibility or user experience in mind.
