    It’s usually not the devs who make the decisions on what to implement; that only happens in the early days of a site when the owners are also the devs.

    C-levels looking to make money are pulling the strings. The devs at any large site just have a list of user stories to burndown.

      Right. Never underestimate the absolute stupidity of hierarchies. (Corp bureaucracy in this case).  Stuff gets done just to make people look good based on who can tell the most convincing lie, not based, primarily at least, even on what would be good for the company as a whole.

       Devs, in most cases, are at the very bottom of this all, and therefore pretty much less responsible and have the least autonomy over what they do
