i wish i could somehow make all of the product people in the world understand that "research shows 95% of people do B instead of A" is not in and of itself justification to entirely get rid of option A for people absent some other kind of overhead or burden to keeping A around

Yeah, definitely feeling the enshittifcation vibe here. I don't know what the fuck's gotten into them lately, I can only hope it's not some VC-brownnoising thing.
probably like that one tweet along the lines of "the VC want growth but the devs ran out of things to do so they start changing things for no reason"
maybe I’m missing something, but that justification makes absolutely no sense to me. there’s no named benefit to limiting to 30 days, just a vague statement that the impact should be minimal. it doesn’t answer the “why” at all. lousy
i had my own lil perma url through a custom domain redirect but i guess we can can that too (totally taking the opportunity to use 'can' twice)
Their justification has huge "my source is that I made it the fuck up" energy.

"our research shows only 10% of our users will absolutely hate us for this and the rest will merely tolerate the change"
