Because the people at the head of Twitter have no idea what to do with a social network or why it work (or doesn't)? It's not like their handling of Twitter itself is much better...

> it seems like the author is conflating visual design with effective user experience
often the fact that people separate those things so much is an issue in itself. visual design is definitely a big part of an effective user experience and a user's feelings about the product they are currently using
much like how the feeling of responsiveness of an interface can be manipulated by simply changing the duration of a few animations (but not the actual duration of the action)
Sure, that's fair. I said visual design, but I think I might have meant more simply "look". Design implies some intentionality, but it felt like the commentary was focused simply on how it looked and not how that actually impacted the design. For example, the resolution of the pin graphic doesn't really impact the design significantly.

> I dislike that they foist a random router onto you and charge you $10 a month (and charge you if you want to return it). I also dislike that they force a landline on you and charge you another $10 on you. Who in 2019 needs a landline?
I've never used Sonic but this describes my Comcast experience completely. Frustrating that we cant get away from these trappings
I don't know where you live, so maybe your situation is that, but I've been on Comcast for years over multiple houses, and I've always owned my own modem and never have had any hidden fees.
It could be tech support lied to you. It wouldn't be a first.
