Why’d you like that celebrity photo on Instagram? Why’d you leave that restaurant review on Yelp? Why’d you text in lowercase, or turn on read receipts, or share your location? The Verge’s Ashley Carman and Kaitlyn Tiffany ask the hard, weird, and occasionally dumb questions about how your tiny tech decisions impact your social life.

Season 3 starts October 17th
We’re back at it again. Why’d You Push That Button, The Verge’s podcast about all the choices technology forces us to make, is returning for a third season on October 17th. As usual, we’ll cover pressing issues of our time, like why you left your friends’ group chat, what it’s like to be an Instagram boyfriend, and why you refuse to type with uppercase letters.
We’ll also be tackling more timely topics, like how people decide when it’s time to delete their tweets and why, and how they choose their emoji skintone. We’re getting a little more serious this season, but not losing our sass. I promise.
