Planning documents for "Scout" say the plan is to "make people addicted" to the tool before adding new features.

        Of course not and I didn’t mean to imply it would. Evilness of mega-corporations shouldn’t be a surprise to anyone, though.

          All the more important to point out how fucked it is.

            People tend to handwave it “oh pfft of course they are” but less so when proof is provided

          The above comment normalizes the behaviour.

    They had their chance for me to be addicted with Cortana and they squandered it

      I still truly love that in 2015, Microsoft called their assistant cortana, just as 343 painted her character as the antagonist.

      It’s almost poetic.

        Reminds me of that one article that came out saying that Zuckerberg is “affectionally” referred to as the “Eye of Sauron” in the office, or something like that.

    I mean I’m betting they’ll fail anyway. I don’t think anyone has ever been addicted to anything Microsoft has made
