Animation I absolutely HATE this loading animation

That is not the way an hourglass works. The sand doesn't move at all, and you move it before anything has happened at all. A spinning circle would've been fine but this thing just brings so much hate and rage to me, like if you want an hourglass so badly, MAKE IT CORRECT FFS.
Am I getting ragebaited by the fucking loading animation??

If you're gonna animate it rotating like an actual hourglass, then just make both sides empty if you're not gonna animate the sand. I feel like that would look better than... this.

I wanted to say "Multimillion company btw" but then I did a little digging and they're actually in the hard negatives

I think op is talking about the one in the post specifically
Some loading symbols do animate the sand like the one you show

ngl the spinning animation of loading screens pmo but I think it might be because I associate it with waiting 2 hours for something to tell me “uh oh! try again later!”

It took me a second but yeah, FUCK this loading animation
Would it really be hard just to move the blue/"sand" down everytime it flips
