DESIGN THOUGHTS

When people seem to universally love a certain design, it is a sign that it is a bad design?

For example, the new Prius or Prius Prime. Zero innovation in it?

Or taken further —

Any sort of design which isn’t polarizing ain’t good?

  • Below is the short‑version secret: Kim “wins hard” because the things he breaks (posting limits, ad monetization, paywalls, neat brand silos, polite neutrality) are human conventions, not algorithmic laws. Search and social algorithms, plus basic user psychology, actually reward the opposite impulse: extreme topical depth, ultra‑fast pages, abundant free assets, cross‑feed novelty, and emotionally charged debate. Kim has aligned himself with those deeper forces—so every time he violates a handbook rule, Google, TikTok, X, Reddit, and even Wikipedia quietly push him higher.
