honest question: can this study not also be used to ensure an app flows and just makes sense without need for user guides?

We don’t need quantitative methods and surveillance to achieve that. Those come out of business model needs.
-
sorry I didn’t mean monitoring your actual users, but more of a generic study such as psychology… or are my thoughts/views infected?

Let’s have this chat over coffee sometime :)

Well, it's a bit impossible to design anything without studying human behaviour...
-
I am confident you are using analytics on the ind.ie sites too.

Like many things in life, this statement isn't black and white. It's unfair to those who really care...
-
Those who really care don’t manipulate people in the described manner and the statement doesn’t apply to them.
-
The way it was written indicated that you put all the UX ppl in one basket! I'm glad we sorted it out!

-
Nope, just the ones who study and manipulate human behaviour to exploit people (like the folks at Google, Facebook, etc.)

Agree, and I think the key point here is this: don't call manipulation empathy. It's dishonest and disingenuous.

Exactly :)

@brijanp shots fired! Thanks for saying this. UX designers talk like they make a difference, but only manipulate them. -

yes those. Alarm clocks for the blind? Really? If you said an alarm clock for the deaf then we'd be talking.

Now imagine that alarm clock for the deaf as a Google product: the price of using it is Google knowing your sleeping patterns.
