I recently tried to buy an electric skateboard ($1000+) and couldn’t get to the add to cart button because of the chat interface. A competitor had a similarly rated/speced board so I bought theirs.
- salusinarduis 6y agoWhy not just remove it with inspect element?
- peacefulhat 6y agoBecause fuck intrusive sales. Shouldn’t need developer tools to buy a product.

- conductr 6y agoThat was actually my line of thinking. I was on mobile and it didn’t work. I jumped onto my laptop and still didn’t work. I felt I had put in enough effort at that point. If I didn’t have what I felt was a fairly perfect substitute in the competitors product maybe I would have tried harder.
- gowld 6y agoBecause you're shopping for a skateboard not a web app.

- iamleppert 6y agoServes you right for thinking you needed a $1000 electric skateboard. Indulgent techie!
