Disclaimer: This dialogue is a work of satire. Any resemblance to real strategies, meetings, or decisions is intentional for comedic and critical commentary purposes only.

[Conference Room. Slide reads: “WAU = Love.”]

#NiravTolia:

Nextdoor Team, it’s simple. We send more alerts. More emails. More notifications. WAU goes up.

Poush Ohver:

But… will users be WOW’d?

Nirav:

They won’t be WOW’d. They’ll be… active.

Brandella Spin:

Active like—furiously active?

Cash Flowman:

Active clicks still count. Carry on.

Lex Lockjaw:

Legally speaking, annoyance is permitted.

Clown (honks approvingly)

Mime (pretends to listen, then shrugs)

Nirav (standing up, Oprah-style):

Everyone ready? Because—

YOU GET A NOTIFICATION!

🚗 Screeching Tires — Alerted.

YOU GET THIS NOTIFICATION!!!

🥯 Too much salt at the local bagel shop — Urgent.

AND YOU GET A NOTIFICATION!!!

🥤 7-11 Slurpees are too liquid — Breaking.

YOU GET A NOTIFICATION!!!

YOU GET A NOTIFICATION!!!

Poush Ohver:

Sir… people are muting the app.

Cash Flowman:

Muted users still count as installed.

Brandella Spin:

Let’s call it High-Intensity Engagement™.

Lex Lockjaw:

I’ll draft the disclaimer.

Clown (confetti)

Mime (slow clap, silently)

Nirav (smiling):

See? WAU is up.

[Lights dim. Phones buzz endlessly.]
