    Next step: political adverts that quiz you on what you’ve just heard and repeat each segment if you get the answer wrong.

    Just kidding though (or am I). This is truly some dystopian shit. My first reaction was what the actual fuck. And I bet you that their numbers aren’t really going to hurt that much because of this. Mark my words.

      What really grinds my gears, is for every shitty “feature” like this, for every denial of policy or piece of spyware… someone thought it up.

      I wonder does anyone ever, in the meeting where this is decided, bring up what a horrible idea it is? I’m sure that person won’t have the best career, but has anyone ever seen someone take the bullet?

        Man, I’ve been to these meetings.

        Shitty MBAs have a shitty idea, and when you go “that’s impossible to do / directly against any sane set of values / clearly and plainly very, very illegal”, they just go “don’t worry about it” and have you do the stupid shit. When it comes crashing down, responsibility is usually distributed like when you take a turd and throw it in a high speed industrial fan, everyone gets a little.

        Then you have a choice between either becoming so jaded and cynical that it’s not even funny anymore, or switch jobs. I’ve had too many jobs.
