I wish I could murder engagement driven design with a hammer.
I wish they estimated how fucking annoying their interventions were. Like you might be boosting clicks per minute in the short term, but it's going to go down to zero after a week when I get fed up — when Netflix started auto playing videos, I threw my TV out the window.
To quote the other comment in this thread: "just use Fdroid". No engagement driven design there.
