Years ago PS used to make you wait for a table to fill, then when it finally did fill you were greeted with a friendly message that the game would start in less than two minutes. Then after a major upgrade (sarcasm) it switched to one minute. Now you have ten seconds to get your shit together.
The two minute warning was reasonable. A chance to grab a cold and refreshing adult beverage from the fridge. Take a pee break. Start cooking dinner on the Foreman grill. Start warming up the placekicker for the game winning field goal.
In the last decade+ PokerStars hasn't made any rule changes that would enhance the experience for a real human. Instead the focus is on silencing the critics by doing stupid shit like locking down and preventing observer chat.
The three most thankless jobs:
1) PR spokesperson for Internet poker
2) PR spokesperson for Scientology
3) PR spokesperson for SeaWorld
Trying to explain obvious bullshit.
