Why the jab at Pokémon go? It was a really fun time at release

Fun until government contractors bought all the private data it collected with an unknown scope

And, perhaps in both cases, because they had fun with it?

mindful people as opposed to mindless people don't have fun, they are occupied with bringing value to shareholders /s

Imho it say something about you that you see people that experiment with new things as "mindless people". I'll go search for my mind now, thanx.

Did they create test cases, wrote a protocol about the results?

Just trying something out and see what happens isn’t experimenting
