TLDR Toasts often appear far from the user's focus, leading to jarring interactions. For example, YouTube's toast notifications conflict with other on-screen actions. A redesign suggests directly integrating feedback into user actions, such as placing indicators near interacted elements. Examples from Gmail and clipboard actions further illustrate unnecessary toast usage. Ultimately, no feedback is worse, but there are better methods than relying on toasts.
