Changes like this are always made to "Enhance the user experience" yet the UX only goes backwards

[–] kautau@lemmy.world 12 points 14 hours ago (1 children)

They're made to “Enhance the ~~user experience~~ profit”

“Enhance the user experience” is just what the dev or documentation team writes when management dictates that they drop a feature. The only reasons they would have dropped it:

  • Dev work vs actual customer usage (e.g. it wasn't getting a lot of users but devs had to maintain it with each update)
  • People were using it to intercept the stream and capture movies to pirate.

Every decision is about increasing profits first, and UX almost always takes a back seat to that

UX almost always takes a back seat to that

If it even makes it on the bus in the first place
