Why friction hides

Revenue friction is often not obvious in isolated reviews because each touchpoint appears defensible on its own. The problem appears when offers, reminders, scarcity, and progression gates all land in the same user journey.

Map moments, not only mechanics

A useful pressure map plots where users encounter monetization cues across onboarding, progression walls, comeback moments, and event loops. That creates a more honest view of how the experience feels over time.
