That is an argument in favor of increasing adoption of a feature most users would decline if they were presented with the choice.
But the question is when the choice is asked, right? If you would have the time to explain the Pocket feature to a normal users, don't you think most would say "OK, saving articles might be useful, keep it in"?
The problem is that you don't usually get the time to explain the feature well enough, and if there's no time, the user will click it away ASAP (and be annoyed).
Is there a specific reason you chose to ignore my repeated statements of what I believe is the real and most important issue with the addition and only address UX?
Maybe I didn't word my question correctly. I was wondering why you actively chose to repeatedly ignore my issue with including a closed platform by default. I repeatedly stated that this was my main issue and that the UX was an aside to what I felt was the issue that needed to be addressed.
Why did you feel it necessary to ignore that issue completely over several comments directly addressing it?
