On a related note, I feel that some websites at are a point where they're complete, and adding new features makes the experience worse.
Take Github: to me it feels that it's now at an optimum where adding new features that make it more social or more "fun" would simply make it worse.
Similarly Youtube: tons of good material, user interface is fine. Then they introduced shorts, and to me it feels like these type of video's are simply not part of youtube's identity, adding them only makes it worse.
At some point it might be best to stop adding new features and just agree that things are fine now as they are.
- koreth1 4y agoSurely it's possible for GitHub to add features that aren't related to making it more social or "fun," though? For example, they could improve their support for stacked PRs in a number of ways; that's an area that is far from fine at the moment IMO.
