too many clicks per word. and the distance between click points. that's intentional.

well the point would be to see how susceptible you are to that. They're figuring out where your cost vs reward tipping point is.

I think you’re reading too much into it. I think it’s just a common design pattern that was copied and is clearly optimised for mobile, where the distance doesn’t matter that much.

Anyway, if they were running metrics on that they just became useless because I automated responding to it a bunch of times.
