I always have multiple accounts thanks to Single-Sign-On, so I don't find my event tickets, logins, and contacts. To make it worse, those sites regularly log me out for no reason and some force logging in using my Google account although I have a main account with my business email address.

I suspect that's another deceptive pattern that they let happen on purpose so they can claim to have more users than they really have.

and thanks to Meetup.com's deterioration, Eventbrite can get away with being just a little bit less annoying. Their user journeys feel like a worst-practice-parody of how not to do UX.

Who would come up with the following message in a small font size near a new password field that isn't marked as wrong but instead has a fat green underline because of the successful password strength?

"Your password wasn't changed. New password matches one of last 4 used passwords"

If the users still don't give up and manage to get things "right", you can still show this classic one:

"There has been an error. Please try again later."

No thanks, but I won't.

they wanna connect everyone's IDs together

it's ew
