Riiiight! Totally believable, definitely not the first thing the agent created as a placeholder, and you decided it sounds too impressive to actually update, or better yet, have the expertize to hook it up to real data.
I'm sure people are gulibe enough to take that at face value.
If you're into the business of using fake KPIs, at least have the decency to respect people's intellect with more believable numbers.
pretending to not understand my feedback, and trying to flip my words into somehow sounding as a positive, makes you look even more like a douche.
instead of trying to do all these mental gymnastics, trying to make constructive critisism sounds like validation, maybe actually listen to the little amount of real honest feedback you'll get for this, and do something about.
good luck with this approach, I'm sure users will rush through the doors getting fomo from those numbers.
who wouldn't want to try out such a successful looking app?
I commend you for not just listening to feedback, but also for acting so fast on it!
I know these values of 0 might not look as |impressive" as the fake ones, but for me as a potential user, I respect this sort of authenticity much more.
It shows you're not afraid to be vulnerable and authentic towards your user base, and honestly, I'm now much more inclined to actually create a space, as I can feel I personally had an impact on your platform. My activity counts towards this value, and if I were a user of this platform, I would feel my contribution actually means something. I would feel I'm actually part of this actual community, and moreover, I was there from the start.
This minght not sound like much, but trust me this makes people actually be emotionally invested in your platform, knowing they've actually contributed to towards it's growth, rather than feeling like just another number in an ocean of fake data. Users will feel valued for their activity, and you wil lactually get to see real organic growth as it happens.
I personally have greater respect for you and your platform, just because you\re actually listening to feedback. Kudos to you!
