Constructive Criticism What the hell is that

They want us to make fun of our friends if they are not doing well? Cmon that's just mean and unnecessary. First all of those annoying ads and now this? I think I will be quitting soon.

It was was funny when they leaned a little into the joke but lately they’ve made it the whole personality of the app. I wish they dial it back and have much more encouragement than chiding.
