On a minor note, my web Twitter is now stuck on mobile display (no, I'm not using https://m.twitter.com ). I logged out, turned computer off, etc. No avail. Is it just me? Anyone know how to make sure it uses desktop interface?

Excuse me? Seriously? It's... so terrible that I assumed it was a bug. It's a mobile design, not a desktop one.https://twitter.com/muell_mann/status/1153307604795498496 …

Also,
@Twitter's new list UI on mobile has lost one of my most used lists. It just doesn't appear on the mobile site. It exists on desktop. So, what I thought was a bug on desktop is "new" "design"
and the new mobile UI is all buggy. Anyone who works there use the product?

Okay, so this works *for now* to get the old user interface back on desktop. This is not a quick judgment; I've been struggling with the "new" UI for a week, thinking it was a bug. It had to be a bug! This is not a desktop design. It's HORRIBLE. WTF??https://winaero.com/blog/disable-twitters-new-interface-and-restore-old-design-back/ …

Eeek, it reverts back to the terrible UI if you reload. My eyes, ouch. Very hard UI to use on desktop. A desktop is a desktop for a reason. PLUS it reverts to "top tweets" AAAAARGH.
@Twitter wastes time to make the site worse when there is so much to actually improve. AAARGH.5 replies 4 retweets 66 likesShow this thread -
I hope this terrible, terrible new UI by
@Twitter goes the way of snapchat's redesign. I've seen bad UI updates in my decades of computer use but this is one of the worst. I really really really thought it was a bug. Couldn't comprehend that it was intentional.8 replies 22 retweets 76 likesShow this thread -

Among other unusable things, I can no longer have an instapaper button? Bookmarks used to only work on mobile, but now it's on desktop but add tweet to moments has disappeared? The amount of bugginess of Twitter has always been amazing and needed fixing. So they introduced more.

For example, there's no easy way to add a quote tweet (like I am about to do) to a thread. Anyone who uses Twitter regularly likely encounters this. We copy link to tweet, delete after question mark, blah blah. Twitter designers don't use Twitter part 897.https://twitter.com/Vordio/status/1153314441087332353 …

If you go find and follow a lot of Twitter's Product Owners and designers, many post what appears to be a company requirement of tweets per week. Almost always about pets or food or travel. Infrequently interacting with real conversations.

LOL true, it's weirdly robotic. Still, even if designers don't use the product, at least have a user-panel-type bugfix/optimize/QC round. Or... Twitter for some reason doesn't want the users to decide how their product is used.

UI/UX research sometimes has different foci depending on business needs. My bet is that their dept mandate isn't to improve the power user experience, but to increase ad exposure without creating burnout.
