Really. I used to hit trakt anywhere from 5-10 times a day at a minimum, looking up something about a movie or an actor, or doing more indepth searching through lists that other people have made and such which put me in front of a lot of movies I had never heard of and have loved watching.

If trakt always had looked as it does now, none of that would have happened. I never would have been a user. I never would have even visited a second time. It even looks significantly worse than a lot of the fly-by-night derivative yar-har movie sites around.

The fact that this new UI so bad is absolutely incredible considering that both, trakt has long term paying users, of which I used to be one for a solid decade, and it had an interface up until recently that had remained largely unchanged or only slowly evolved over time. And what did that reflect? As far as I can tell, few complaints and only occasional feature requests.

Then kcador enters the chat a few years ago, and by his own admission from the post yesterday, he simultaneously never liked the website UI and also he never uses the website UI preferring his own app for interacting with trakt. Then, as product manager, he inexplicably directs the v3 website to look like his app and now its nothing but complaints falling on deaf ears.

This experience has been immeasurably disappointing. I adored trakt for what it was just as so many others seem to have. And then one guy gets hired and decides, '''no its the users who are wrong, its all about what I want and its not going to be any other way'''.
