Anyone else hate Southwest's boarding process?

Plus there's this greedy game by the airline.
"Gee, you might not get any overhead space, you might get a middle seat in the back, but hey you can pay some money to get bumped up a few spaces, or you can show up early to pay for a 'business class' bump - great, thanks for the payment -- oops, looks like your flight is part of a longer set of connections so it's already 1/2 full, plus we have to let people with 'disabilities' on first, then families with small kids on, then our rewards members, then our credit card holders -- sorry looks like your 'upgrade' didn't improve your situation at all. aren't we quirky?"

Southwest has the absolute best coach/economy product among US airlines.
It’s easy to check in early and always get an A boarding position. Then you’re basically guaranteed overhead bin space and a seat where you want.

No basic economy/economy minus bullshit product
No change fees
No cancel fees
2 free checked bags
Usually plenty of overhead bin space because folks check bags
Boarding & deplaning with no assigned seats is actually much faster (Southwest has the fastest plane turnaround times among major carriers)
If you want to be assured of boarding first, you can pay $30 for A1-15, which is cheaper than economy plus seats on other carriers

southwest has the best boarding process actually. its very orderly since everyone has an assigned boarding spot, rather than boarding by zones. boarding by zones leads to everyone standing around the gate area clogging it up and then rushing towards the gate when their zone is called. that type of boarding process is actually very prole
if you either check in 24 hours before or pay the nominal fee for early bird you are guaranteed your choice of seat and overhead space

They used to do this and to some extent still do but then they started adding so many special categories that get to board first
First class
Business class
Diamond Elite
Platinum Elite
Gold Elite
Silver Elite
Active Military
Veterans
Families
Economy Plus. . .
By the time they get back to general boarding, the plane is mostly full

You’re actually wrong, bro. The fastest way to board/exit is far enough spaced such that multiple people can stop and stow their overhead baggage at the same time. For example, window rows 24, 21, 18, 15, etc on one side of the plane, then the other, then next rows, then middle seats, etc.
That keeps the delay in the overall queue the smallest. SW’s random boarding is as close as airlines get to that efficiency. People space themselves out.
The worst way to board/exit is how everyone gets off of the plane ... front to back, everyone has to wait for one person in front to get into the aisle and pull down their bag. Then the next, while everyone else waits.

The one time I took Southwest, I paid extra for their fake Business Class. You don't even get an assigned seat.
Anyway, Southwest fucked up my ticket somehow. The system wouldn't recognize it. It took time for staff to sort it out, so I was last to board.
The only seat remaining was a middle seat next to a 400 lb. guy whose entire torso was forced violently against mine for 6 hours. My upper half was forced 30 degrees to the right for 6 fucking hours. When I finally got to Austin I was miserable and my head and body were radiating pain. I lost that night lying in bed in the hotel.
The purpose of business class on long flights is to save time in the future. When I can sit or sleep in a comfortable seat, I don't waste time later napping to make up for my poor sleep or drinking alcohol to salve my physical misery.
The idea that we need a "democratic" airline where everyone is approximately equally miserable is idiotic.
fuck southwest
