I’ve seen this simplistic “incentive” thinking in many many arguments of this kind recently. I don’t see why this would at all be the case here. Do you think the team responsible for this service will be graded on the total amount of fines collected as one of their OKRs? What does the chain of decision making from top to bottom look like for that to be the case? Not everything is as straightforward as revenue = more of that thing.
- hntrader 6y agoYou're right that there's not a good reason to expect incentive to block people, a priori, even though it's vaguely plausible. I do expect that they would certainly be accused that that's their motive whenever someone gets blocked unfairly, which could lead to some bad PR, notwithstanding whether that's what's actually going on.
