What if we added a social component like "Stories" to this calculator app? (i.postimg.cc)

I don't know if the game is the best example of busineses making top-down design decisions, since that game was an obvious scam from the start.

you're right. perhaps a better example would be YouTube suggesting videos by colour?

Not sure why? Just because you don't use or understand a feature, it does not mean nobody else wants it? Or do you have more insight into that?

I don't. but adding a "feature"(I call it bloat) that doesn't even work properly instead of, say, making search better might be a more sensible thing.
but as a commentor suspects, they might've added this because of black history month

I never saw that, that's legitimately funny. I'd love to be in the room when that feature was designed, and the reaction of the developer it was handed too.
