- stonogo 4y agoNobody wants you to carve out your eyes. They want you to stop shoving eyes into everything you touch. Meanwhile, I'll decide what I must or must not adapt to, thank you.

But, that costs money: folks don't generally like to do surveys for free, don't like to come to your site (or have you come to theirs) for free, don't like to participate in tests for free... and the caliber of person who can design and orchestrate all that is _notably_ expensive. So, companies have discovered that it's far, far cheaper to shove remote eyes into their products. No need to schedule user observation sessions, pay for transportation and participation, have to bother with hiring people who are capable of coming up with a good set of questions and scenarios to walk through.
