From a company perspective I think this is a horrible idea, I don't want to push all my customers together so that they can all complain in the same place.

This is exactly why the internet is the way it is. I don't mean this as blaming you personally, it's just the incentives that exist under a capitalist system. The "problems" of the internet are structural in origin, and I'm skeptical they can be fixed with a chatbox.

I'm similarly skeptical they can be fixed with a chatbox. We're working toward a public platform where issues can be made visible on a broader scale. For those websites that would invite such feedback and be early adopters, we're creating a widget for them to do so. Eventually, people might come to expect this sort of public discourse.

That would be too human. Better to keep them isolated and trapped trying to communicate through opaque dark patterns.
