Using too many colors in the design will tire the viewer instead of attracting attention.

Not looking at it as a whole with captions, #tags, and social platform UI. Doing so will give more perspective on what and what not to include in the design.

@david_deisadze It could be a mistake of done blindly. It could be a smart move if done deliberately The thing is the majority of times is not deliberate.
I don't think that designs with too much information are preferred.
A few things:
1. using inconsistent branding
2. overcrowding designs with text or elements
3. choosing low-resolution images
4. neglecting mobile optimization
