That one comment about my button text contrast still bugs me
A guy on here told me my light gray text on a white background was impossible to read, and I argued it was "minimalist." 6 months later I checked my site analytics and realized my click-through rate was like 40% lower on that page. Has anyone else gotten defensive about feedback only to find out the critic was totally right?

Wait till you find out all those other design choices you were proud of also tanked your metrics. That's the part that stings the most. I spent a whole year defending a navigation menu that nobody could figure out. Finally changed it and my bounce rate dropped by half. Sometimes the critics are just saying the quiet part out loud.

Lol this applies to relationships too. Nobody tells you when your approach is the problem.
