    What happened to actually having a sales person vet this shit?

    That costs money. Why would they do that when it turns out that they don’t actually have to?

      True that. Rather than do it in a way that actually has positive user feedback, they just a:b test and look at viewer metrics until some method happens to stick a little better. No actual thought in the process, no intent or attempt to actually make a usable experience.

      As the downward pitch of engagement increases, they’ll put their hands in the air and go, “I JUST DON’T UNDERSTAND IT!!” - as they never did to begin with.

      Because in the end they are not even selling anything except accidental clicks at the expense of alienating their userbase and destroying any trust.
