I guess it's safe to say no designer (or anyone else) wants to see their work shamed on the Internet. But to have it featured on the subreddit r/CrappyDesign you must've really done something wrong.
Maybe you created plant-dyed underwear that looks like it has just gone through a messy disaster. Or maybe you decided to use Comic Sans and useless quotation marks on actual police cars. Point is, if a picture of something you made ended up going viral in this online community, it wasn't by accident.
The design is short-lived. Industry professionals measure a design's quality not only by aesthetics and usefulness but also by its lifespan.
"A bad design will have faults which render it useless quicker than a consumer would like. Many companies will purposely design products this way through planned obsolescence, however, I believe this is the wrong way to approach product design. My favorite products to use are ones that I have inherited from family or have been in my possession for years and still perform as well as when they were first bought. I believe the best products are those which can be used for a lifetime."
No design is perfect. But some are obviously crappier than others.
