That’s u/coolducklings point though. You can’t tell the difference. LEDs are easier to be out of alignment, and they’re more directional, so even a bounce or a slight uphill or downhill angle can make LEDs seem like they’re right in your face (because they are). That, and as many have pointed out, the auto-high beam feature in a lot of newer cars is flashing them more often too. There’s an overpass near me that I go under nearly every time I leave my house. When I go under, my car decides to make my lights brighter, even in broad daylight.

Not disagreeing with you that headlights are a pain in the arse lately, but it’s more the technology, not necessarily a bunch of people being pricks.
