Not gonna lie, this reads stronger on paper than in practice
Reaction: Me irl
the way this is presented changes how it lands and that’s where people will push back We’ll see how people react over time. Others will probably see it differently.
Trying to be fair, this feels like a half-step, not a full move which makes the reaction pretty predictable Time will tell. Others will probably see it differently.
Looking at this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome and that’s the part people are stuck on
the intention might be solid, the rollout less so and that’s why this won’t land the same for everyone
Reaction: Not again.
Just reading this, there’s a gap between the message and the outcome
the framing does a lot of heavy lifting here and that’s what people are responding to That’s what makes this interesting. Not convinced this is settled yet.
