Let's try that again:
The article advocates for web apps that don't try to get their users addicted to them.
ilaksh is saying that the author of the article is disconnected from reality. I would honestly like to know why he thinks that, as I don't see the connection.
- ilaksh 14y agoYou can't argue against that type of improvement (not trying to addict people), but he is saying more than that. I was commenting on the way the article was written, and like I said, the subculture, which I find to be something like a gen-y technological adaptation of traditional elitism, as much as the content. Sure, we might as well continue refining our app consuming experience, but at a certain point you might look outside of your fine app dining establishment and notice how many malnourished kids are standing around. In other words, once you get to a certain level of refinement and convenience, you should realize that there are more substantive problems.
