Why bother making a good UX?

The best UX is usually contradictory to monetization.

The best UX takes a ton of extra work.

Why not let the Executives in Sales and Growth erect the walls and moats that keep your users stuck in place?



The best thing for Reddit's business would be to hide communities as much as possible and turn their app into a version of TikTok that throws nothing but ads disguised as viral videos in front of users. They probably want to do this badly.

Actually, what if someone came up with an app that had no user created content whatsoever and was just an infinite-scroll of corporate ads? I bet it would make millions.
