You could engineer the feed to maximize user satisfaction, rather than maximizing usage.
- cortesoft 6mo agoBut what if maximum satisfaction causes maximum usage? If you make the perfect feed that shows someone exactly what they want to see at every moment, people are going to use that all the time.
