It's amazing to me how someone could find themselves in a powerful enough position to make this decision yet somehow be so stupid that they decide to actually go ahead with it.
Meritocracy is a lie. Literally any normal human could look at this idea and go "well that's just dumb, wasteful, over-engineered, and weird".
- quchen 2y agoI totally agree with this being an obviously bad idea, but then again I thought Twitter was an obviously bad idea because we had SMS, and Instagram would be an obvious bad idea because who would take pictures of themselves all day long.
- pwillia7 2y agoThere's lots of stuff we'd say that about though, especially with advertising. I can totally see why 'point of purchase' advertising would be valuable for brands and retailers, but not if it doesn't add any value or convenience, like this. I bet the data is like post purchase upsell in e-commerce, which converts pretty high.
