If the purpose of a metric is to show adoption, the metric can be defined in a way to show adoption. Could be just an effect of promo driven culture, AI push and good’ol Goodhart’s law.

A phrase that gains a completely different meaning once one notices that aella is attending.
I’d rather drop the religion from that list. Some religions propagate harmful ideas too and historically sided with fascists.
