- X6S1x6Okd1st 8y agoHalf of their users skip the on-boarding. Why would that make you feel far away from the current internet zeitgeist? Presumably the user group you've self selected into also has a retention rate that is 20x lower than those that don't skip the on-boarding.
- tomc1985 8y agoBecause everything has onboarding now. Sometimes it's unskippable (think mobile games). It's always annoying, very frequently patronizing, and, frankly most people's app/site designs aren't that special because modern UX seems to have no more than a handful of designs for how tech is to be spoonfed to the masses. Of course none of that matters because it makes another tiny, self-selected group considerably more money.
