Loops

Aug 26 2008

Try watching TV in a room where people are talking.

People want others to hear, so they talk loudly.
You increase the volume so that you can hear the TV.
People start talking louder…
You increase the volume further up…

Noise.
Nobody wins.

The same stuff happens when you try to listen to music at a place where people want to talk. You can see the same effect coming to play in many other places.

You advertise your product. Customers ignore your ads.
You increase the amount of your advertisements… Customers ignore them more.

People demand some features in your product. You add those features.
People demand more features in your product… You keep adding them.

Wise decisions can help you break loops like these.
