What UI design trend do you hate the most? (lemmy.ml)

I personally hate rounded corners and shadows added everywhere. Makes most things look crappy and smudged.

              Flatness. UI controls need to be recognizable.
Theming/styling. A button should look like button.
Lack of menus. Discoverability is poor if you don't have a list of things in an obvious place.
Gestures. Lack of discoverability.
Information density. I don't care about huge margins and filler pictures. Content shouldn't be crammed, but space should be used efficiently.
Mobile first. Especially if mobile use is only a fraction of actual use. Or maybe even if it is the majority of users, but not majority of use (operations, hours).
Simplicity. Make simple things simple, but hard things possible. Removing features can make your software useless.
