Yep. I wonder, if the balance has gone too far without any checks or balances? A/B testing our way into oblivion. May be, we should do a massive A/B test between 15 year old UI and today's UI. They'd probably have to modify old UIs to add some more images because visuals dominate.

I realize these things probably have commercial implications, but goddamn it feels good to rant.

The problem is: a frustrated user is not a leaving user. So as long the users stay at the platform and more money can be made the user experience will be crap.

Spotify has 2 types of users, the creator and consumer. As long as there is more money to be made from the creator user they will also A/B test for that user.
