More crust than filling. Mostly air.
Summary
The article presents a satirical volume control interface that forces users to complete an absurd customer satisfaction survey before accessing basic volume controls. It features nonsensical questions like 'Is a hotdog a sandwich?' and asks users to rate the 'once in a lifetime gaming experience' and the developer's physical appearance, creating a deliberately frustrating user experience designed to mock bad UX design and customer service surveys.
