This is how not to write a product plug in a disguise of insightful blog post. Way way too much marketing content, no concise summary at the top of what happened and too long in general. Feels forced and disingenuous :|
Sorry you feel that way, eps. It's our product's blog and we wrote it because we're genuinely facing this problem and wanted to share. There was no intentional "marketing content", it wasn't forced, and it certainly isn't disingenuous.
