@serge@babka.social @calispera@babka.social And also, a focus group- unlike a committee - doesn't even get to direct the discussion or make a final decision. Someone (or another group) listens and then decides what they really meant was......

@serge@babka.social @calispera@babka.social I've pondered this for a while. It's not hard to assume that the financial cart will start to pull the FOSS horse. But maybe there's a second strand of enshittification caused by focus-group based design. Though that said, FOSS also sometimes suffers the opposite way too- dev chosen features that are based around their own preferences and interests, but may not match user needs.
