Red-teaming Recommendations

A “red team” is a group that tries to guess what might go wrong with a plan. To do this, they brainstorm every problem, risk or drawback they can think of.

You are going to do a red team exercise to find the possible risks of one of the optimization goals just talked about:

Watch time: Trying to make users watch as much of each video as possible.​

Engagement: Getting users to Like, comment on and reply to as many videos as possible. ​

Stickiness: Trying to make sure that users keep watching videos instead of leaving the platform.​

Virality: Encouraging users to share the videos they watch with as many people as possible.​

Daily active use: Encouraging users to share the videos they watch with as many people as possible.​

 

Take a few minutes to write down every possible problem, risk or drawback of this optimization goal that you can think of.
