It's not the designer. It's the product "manager" that makes these dumb choices - even when their UI/UX team pushes back.

- fatherzine 4y agoIt's not the person, it's the system. The market for attention makes the choice, iteratively. If this product manager doesn't do it, his numbers go to shit and he's fired to be replaced with that product manager, with a "better" track record. Who will employ all the dark patterns he can get away with, and keep his track record "stellar".
