Maybe you can’t find it because HN has given YOU a worse UX??

Kidding of course. I feel like I remember seeing something like that also.

Have you ever tried to unsubscribing from Prime? If you want a crash course in how to stop a user doing something you don't want them to do then I'd start there.

Might be "The Frustration Loop" by Herman, the creator of bearblog? https://herman.bearblog.dev/the-frustration-loop/

Yes, this is it. Thanks a lot!
