They unilaterally give less information, are harder to navigate, and melt your computer and/or phone.

Re-designed with unavoidable ads in mind and less control for the users to change their experience.

I'm kinda blown away how busy but typically smooth navigating Amazon is.

Meanwhile insurance websites suck in every way

Well, the whole website is an ad, so it has to actually be usable in order to serve its purpose

when's the last time Amazon had a redesign though?

it's bascially the same as a I remember it 10 years ago, just with more links to more products

I actually applaud them for that. My biggest issue is sites that are absolutely fine doing a redesign and messing everything up.

I hate menus that open up if you hover over them. They are always in high traffic spots on sites. So you are always going over them and they pop up. Plus if they have a menu within it and you bare scoot off, it closes everything.

Drives me nuts.

Amazon site wise is fine but its search results are somehow worse.

Fandom is one of the worst offenders. A decade ago they dominated fan wikis, until they decided to introduce a new layout to replace the old Wikipedia style one, which almost nobody likes. They pushed through anyway because the new layout is more friendly to ads, and lots of editors left for their own independent wikis.

They also screwed with Metacritic, making search harder and you can no longer search for the ratings of specific companies or directors.

Like when IMDB converted the desktop website into a mobile website, enlargening everything and having empty space everywhere. They even did one of those "we care about your feedback" threads so they could ignore it.

Thanks for using 'website' instead of a childish misspelling gimmick
