VIP better than OPP
My curiosity, or what my friend Karen would call it, my fascination with the whole VIP thing and how it connects with the subculture of stalkers and picture senders, has come to an end.
It took me many conversations with my AI friends and after following the 50/60 is half rule I have finally figured it out.
Let's begin.
At some point some eager SW. Intern, came up with the idea of the VIP . Very Important Person.
First time I saw that I thought that those guys would sit on meetings and vote on SW things. No.
But they, the developers, were at a crossroads. They could use positive human emotions to reward those who acquired the VIP status...maybe VIP could gift for free...of VIP members could form CafÉ rooms where they could talk with five of their friends at the same time or Something like that , something to bring people together.
Or
"We could use a twisted part of human nature, like being able to sneak up on someone s profile without them knowing and seeing who looks at ours. We can also let them look at who left those reaction emojis..
Then we're going to make them pay for it, that way making that whole twisted thing desirable to those who don't have it..VIP thst is
But still, how are we going to give that any actual utilitarian value. How do we make them feel like their money is paying for something they can actually use.
Ahhh, "Said the Intern with the red hair..The value comes from allowing those pic senders and stalkers to remain in the site. We're not going to ban them . Even when we could. That way the whole sneaky creepy thing would be seen as an almost necessary tool to fight the creeps we are allowing to stay to begin with..
Yeah yeah ,we can ban their name but when they come back were just going to let them back in
Without the creeps there would be no need for that part of the VIP.. "
To this, the office manager, a Steve Jobs look alike wannabe, Says . . Damn good Job Sandy, ( Sandy is the red his guy). HOW DO YOU DO IT!!
I say that's pretty smart eh.
Just saying .
