Really fun and a fresh format. Well done!

“Try me” “You have credits” on buy credits page “Sign in with google” “Upload image” “You have no credits - buy some” pricing page is broken

Pretty much sums up AI scam slop. What a joke.

I'm not sure we can always interpret 'optional' as 'nice to have but not necessary'. Optional fields can often cover edge or alternate cases like an apartment number in addition to a street address, a dietary or other accessibility accommodation, etc.

You could work around it by adding a bunch of conditional fields which then move more work onto the person filling in the form (tell me you need the extra fields then I'll show them and they will then be required) and add code complexity (more UI flows to test).

Many optional fields are indeed nice to have but assuming they all are misses that the world has a lot of fuzzy edges, and optional spaces handle those with a simple convention that many people expect and understand.

I think they were negotiating in March 2019, when there wasn't a pandemic to consider?

That's exactly how I read it and my immediate reaction was 'hard no'. Glad it was a misread because bad things lie down that path.

Why the email address grab?

Roughly the same, I think the variance is about 10% with Steam being an outlier working in tiers tied to revenue. At least one allows developers to name the cut (including 0%) but 30% is the most common number.

I feel pretty dumb, sure enough it's right there. Pardon my error I glanced right past that. Positioning the text with the password field would likely help, and/or include all rules in the error message, not just the one that's violated.

Ah another round of 'guess the password policy'!. Try a password. No, it needs a capital letter. Next try, No, it must also have a symbol.

I moved on after that. If this is the UX of setting up a password, I'm not up for the rest.

The policy and the design of the interface is inextricably linked to that change in interactions. A hands-off policy is still a policy for a site that rewarded more inflammatory content in pursuit of certain metrics.

More crimes are documented because of extra policing, but that is different from whether more crimes are committed. Crimes of different degrees are happening all around, but if you look particularly in one area that is where you'll see crime.

Agreed. Instant deal breaker.

I appreciate how this was handled on the homepage: direct and looking out for your team.

$1B, but it landed at about $750M because of the FB shares that took a tumble just after.

Take it or leave it isn't really negotiation, though, is it. There's no counter offer or alternative terms to work with. As I understand too many declines get drivers kicked off the platform, so their autonomy in this regard seems fairly limited.
