The Phone Number Slider... BUT WORSE

So I've heard about that UI that one of you guys made that was a slider to choose a phone number that was not accurate at all. But I have one better. The phone number counter. So you know about how when you're typing in a number for something and the website will give you an option to just count up? It's that but for a phone number. So you would have to go... +0 000-000-0000 +0 000-000-0001 +0 000-000-0002 ...and so on. And you can't just type it in. So you have to count up. 1 number at a time. Oh, and for every 10B clicks that +(Insert number here) goes up by 1. So if you clicked 10 billion times, you would have the number: +1 000-000-0000 Good luck if you live in Kuwait, you would have to click 965B+ times to show you're phone number!

Bad UI

I have an idea for bad UI, basically it would just be a blank white menu with a box saying is this your computer with two boxes saying yes or no, then afterwards it takes you to another blank screen with the caption of password, it would go through every single password combination (4 digit password) from 0000 to 9999 and you have the text boxes yes or no for each one, then there’s a caption saying two factor authentication where it’s the same thing as before but from 1-100 also one thing is if you get the first password wrong then you have to restart, and if you get this second one wrong then you restart from the first, every time, now this may sound like a stupid idea but this was the worst UI design idea I could come up with as it would be a pain to go through if it was to exist

UNSUBSCRIBE - THE GAME

https://h-juck.github.io/Unsubscribe/start.html

I took inspiration from some of the most frustrating unsubscribe UIs out there, added a few of my own ideas, and turned it into a game. Think you can successfully unsubscribe?
