  • A very good example of this is birthdays on Facebook. When the birthday message posting started a few millennia ago, everyone took it very seriously - they would sit up at night and reply to each message. With each passing year, the number of messages increased - 20 to 50 to 70 or even 200, depending on how many “friends” you had on the evil site.

    That’s when everyone realized that it’s just impossible and impractical and most important - unnecessary to have so many people posting on your “wall” to wish you birthday.

    So the game became - you reply to the few folk you really care about - close friends and family. Everyone else got a like or a copy pasted “thanks”.

    The hellsite even saw their “engagement” dip and built a product using the time of highly paid software engineers, product managers, SREs, and managers. What did the product do? It let you do a one click prepopulated “happy birthday person-I-met-once-at-a-party” message to their wall.

    Of course people caught on to how disingenuous that was and just stopped replying to wall messages on that Satan’s Armpit.

  • Airlines are charged for every landing, docking, refuel, etc they do at every airport. So for the same flight from A to Z, it you stop at E, J, and T airports, the airline is shelling out money for each of those three pitstops.

    That’s contributing to the cost of stopover flights.
