“Good UX still matters—even if no one claps.”

By Teguolo — The Comedy Designer 💬 “Good UX still matters—even if no one claps.” You see this generation of tech bros and founders ehn… Everybody dey design for algorithm, not human beings. Product wey no make sense — but as long as engagement high, dem go celebrate like IPO. 😭 I opened one startup app last week — the onboarding page asked for my BVN, NIN, blood type, and Netflix password before login. 💀 I just close am. Then I get one popup: “Rate your experience!” Bro, I never even experience anything yet! 😂 Let’s be honest — most startups no dey design for users again. They dey design for metrics. If retention rate smile small, UX fit go to hell. Founders go say, “We just want users to stay longer on the app.” Okay. But why them dey stay longer? Because dem no fit find logout button! 😭 You see this obsession with data-driven design? Na why many products dey feel like bad relationships — You’re being tracked, manipulated, and still ignored. 💔 Good UX no dey chase numbers, my brother. Good UX dey chase understanding. One investor once told me, “Teguolo, your design is too human. We need something more algorithmic.” I say, “Baba, you dey sell to humans, not robots. Or you wan make R2-D2 buy your SaaS?” 🤖😂 Look, I’ve been in this design hustle 40 years — I don see everything: skeuomorphism, neumorphism, and now AI-wahala-morphism. But one truth never change — “If the user no fit use am, your algorithm fit hug transformer.” ⚡ Founders, hear me well: The algorithm might bring them in… But only good UX keeps them from running away. You can game the system, but you can’t trick frustration. People don’t clap for good design, because when it works — they forget it’s even there. And that’s the point. That’s the beauty. That’s the art. 🎤 Moral of the story: Design for humans, not headlines. Because likes no go fix your retention — empathy will. — Teguolo 🎭 The Comedy Designer | 40 years of jokes, pixels & pure UX gospel
