Why should they? Respect for their potential users.
Implying that I missed because of how I'd written my take on it seems a little odd. You do realize that I wrote it after the fact, right?
Of course you do. But it's more fun to pretend that I don't "get it."
Had I wanted to be sensationalist, I could have done so.
- steve 19y agoThe point is that you must look at the actual numbers - cost of scaring some people away vs. how many new users this brings in, to actually "get it." I've seen this exact technique work extremely well many times before. Building a successful site is absolutely not about giving users everything they want, how they want it. That line of thinking can be very damaging to your site.
- Tichy 19y agoMaybe you are right, but if everybody would be thinking like that, there would be no Linux, only Microsoft. Some people crave a pure solution. For me, a web site that employs the trick above loses my trust, and I will never really feel comfortable in using it anymore.
