If random airmchair commentators can see the results as manipulative I guarantee that the program managers and devs can see it too.

They don't see it as manipulative, which is the problem. They see it as "this is our product, we need a way to understand usage".

A lot of times you need to take a step back to see what you're doing. It's not always easy to do in a work environment.

It's easy to see in a work environment. It's not easy to not dismiss it in favor of a promotion carrot.
