we have code review by LLM. There is no point or a way to argue. Just submit to the wishes of the overlord, resistance is futile.

I like seeing what users are currently viewing the same page, but man the constant jostling of users coming and going made it hard to read the post.

Maybe if the background color on all pages was a heatmap of the current top line of the page, so that you could see where people were reading and how many were reading, it would be better?

Also, what if it played slow and brooding music when fewer people were reading and epic action adventure music when many people were reading it?

How about if the page mined bitcoin and the first person to enter a page made a percentage higher percentage of the next person’s bitcoin and less of the next one, like a multi-level marketing mining strategy?

For some reason this reminds me of the conversation I had with a guy who didn't like the lane keeping assist on his car.

He didn't like that it vibrated the steering wheel when he changed lanes without using the blinker.

Reminded me so much of a game called Chess Royale that I used to play, the avatars and the flags (screenshot [1]). It was really good too; and then Ubisoft being Ubisoft, they killed it even though the game had bots and could have been made single-player.
