    That excuse only works for people who have no ideas how programming works. New features can’t appear because of a glitch.

    The only thing that can indeed happen is the feature was developed and tested, and it was enabled by a glitch. But the feature necessarily was developed intentionally, because things don’t just appear like that in a program.

      “One of our engineers tripped and fell on the keyboard and accidentally coded an entire ad delivery system then accidentally shipped it.”

      The only way I could imagine this being an accident was if they’d already built the ad system and then decided not to use it because they had a burst of common sense at the last possible minute, then later on they accidentally shipped the wrong version in an update.
