What do we learn from this? Not forcing features on users goes a long way! Less is more indeed.

Is this an unpopular opinion?
I hate smart content suggestions in content consumption apps like podcasts apps, spotify, news apps, youtube, my freaking xbox dashboard, you name it.
I much rather prefer apps that let me build my own lists, layouts and - in general - streams of information. With no way for them to roll algo dices and present me with a wall of distraction.

@bonndigital @Sascha Gegen humane Formen des Angebotes spricht ja nichts. Ich glaube ihr wisst, was für eine Art von Agentur gemeint ist.
Behandle andere, wie du selbst behandelt werden willst.
social value > individual value
sustainable value > temporary value
honesty is beautiful
talk to humans, not consumers
etc.
