Core web vitals is a joke. Literally 4 days ago it started bitching to me about breadcrumbs telling me that data-vocabulary.org schema deprecated

Google ; New Breadcrumbs issue detected for site xxxxx 24 Jun 2021•Breadcrumbs

So I look into it, knowing I'd fixed that ages ago....

Google ; Last crawled : 13 Nov 2019

Triggering stuff because you eventually got round to looking at it 19 months later? and it's all like that full of massive holes that make zero sense.

Google; "This product doesn't show how many reviews it has"... Me; "It has no reviews" Google; "ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! ERROR! zero is not a valid number!!!!" Me; "Fuck you Google" Google; "This product doesn't show how many reviews it has"...

I'm not even going to get into how shitty pagespeed insights is* - it's not even close to lighthouse. It tells you to increase your caching but doesn't use caching in performance measurements. I presume google has a giant ass that it pulls most of the figures out of on each run. I live in an area of the UK with one of the worst mobile phone signals known to man, pages load in < 2 seconds google consistently claims at least double.

I really don't enjoy spending hours of my days having to check that Google haven't moved the goalposts yet again.

* I lied, I am.

I tried to report a bug to Intuit about QuickBooks online the other day. 45 minutes later, the person answering the phone at the other end was finally able to give me a ticket number. I don't understand why it has become so hard to give feedback to developers to improve their product. I like it when people report bugs that give me a better understanding of how my software is being used -- am I really in the minority here?

Depends on the bug, if it hurts the business it's generally fixed instantly, if it's just an annoyance, feet are dragged.

No, it's just that bugs of the type you describe are the minority of those that people want to report.
