I’m not buying that human nature is the problem. People have vulnerabilities that can be exploited by profit incentives, which is where you get algorithms that are engineered to pray on addictiveness and encourage unhappiness. Before social media got so profit driven social media was a lot nicer experience.

I wouldn’t mind a subscription model if it just connected me in ways that I wanted and didn’t try to engineer my experience to squeeze every cent out of me.

My skepticism says tho that you can’t put the toothpaste back in the tube.

The entire keyboard animations are just way too distracting and I think don’t look good being obstructed by the keys.

However the interactive animations like earlier in the demo where there’s subtle light effects upon each key press… that would be cool. Like if each key when pressed flashed then dissipated into colored smoke thy would be cool.

I was hoping it was this link before I clicked it. Ze Frank rocks.
