Why don't you stop being part of the problem? Be part of the solution
for a change! You do read people's comments, in here and many other
places, do you not? ACT UPON IT THEN. This is not some random noise
you're hearing; I would strongly caution against dismissing what we
have to say so lightly, we made you and we can break you. UX/UI team
may think whatever they want, but you, having heard our comments,
SHOULD have the obligation to tell them: NO, people do not want this,
so just forget it already. If you are unable to do this, you are part
of the problem and you should be removed from the equation.
