the base issue is whoever’s doing the ux can be overruled by anyone in marketing or product if making number go up is at stake every annoying nag feature has like two dozen people inside the company who tried to stop it from happening but failed because they don’t have a mba and therefore aren’t worth the real decision makers’ time to listen to qirex fucked around with this message at 08:01 on Apr 30, 2022 |

alexandriao posted:Companies exist to make money -- anything that doesn't make money number go up gets loving trashed and rightfully so. there's a difference between making a number go up [that might not even be useful, just to make a team lead's bonus goals] and making the number grow long term the facebook "pivot to video" pretty much destroyed not only the last vestiges of american journalism but also lost facebook billions of dollars but a number did go up for a short time and somebody probably got a huge stack of rsus which was the point of the whole thing. now their obsession with min/maxing a few key numbers is eating into their bottom line in a huge way
