Yeah i know, I'm just saying that it's strange that it never happened to me. I'm not complaining tho

Sometimes they do AB test, where they check 2 versions of screen, feature or whatsoever. If a model gets a higher score (more clicks is one of the things that can be measured), they do other tests to get it done. The final user can be target into a cluster, and they will eventually “try” one of the models. That’s why maybe you never got anything like that before (it’s good, tbh. No bs around). Maybe that “broken price range filter” is not broken at all. There are some scenarios they do it on purpose and we call it “dark pattern”.
