UI Laundering

The practice of sanitizing an obsolete, paternalistic, or exploitative business model by washing it through a sleek, minimalist digital interface. It leverages contemporary user experience design—clean typography, fluid micro-animations, and simplified dashboards—to conceal underlying institutional friction, predatory fee structures, or restrictive mechanics, giving an outdated ideology the superficial appearance of modern transparency and ease.
