Some growth team probably has goal to move a metric. This promotion is one of their experiments. If they move the metric, they can cite that in their performance review. If the promotion causes bad PR (see this thread) and none of the pre-launch reviews flagged it, they can then share what they learned with others in the company. They will say something like “lead a cross functional team to develop best practices for use of AI-generated pictures of a user in promotions” in their pronounce review.
Either way, we get experimented on like lab rates and they get their bonus.
