Is it time to abandon UX?

There are 20+ different UX Research Job Titles. We've mostly accepted these, but have we ever stopped to ask WHY there are so many titles?
In today's video I explore whether the titles are a natural evolution of the field, whether we, the UX community, as truly different from one another, or is it a symptom of a deeper identity crisis?

Don't forget to comment your thoughts! I'd love to hear them, as I spent nearly a year thinking about this topic, after observing the reactions.

Mad love, PEACE!!
