This article doesn’t do a good job of defining its basic terms to make its claims. They admit knowledge worker productivity if ‘tricky’ to measure, yet are somehow sure it has decr…

They took away 'sort by new' for mobile users (most users), which means most users won't see (possibly valid) critical comments anymore. Remember 'YouTube comments' meme existing b…
