It's interesting that users didn't pay as much attention to the dashboard you guys so painstakingly built. I guess to build good* products, product managers ultimately have to follow what users want

A very interesting essay! Indeed, people are more motivated by narratives/stories than stats/charts. It's similar in the investment world. Many retail investors literally buy into grandiose stories told by charismatic CEOs, but don't care as much about revenue/profits etc. Just ask any Robinhood user that bought Tesla shares.
