It creates a fascinating paradox, doesn't it?

As an engineer/user, I also hate popups, waiting lists, and "urgency." They feel manipulative. But as a business owner looking at the dashboard, I see that removing them drops conversion by 40%.

The simulation is designed to test "Market Reality" vs "Personal Taste."

The goal is to see if you can swallow that pill to optimize the P&L, or if you stick to your principles and risk lower margins.

Both are valid choices in the game.
