Huh.

I would assume it's that opposite, that consumers who are unlikely to make
a purchase took their business elsewhere, as they gave up in frustration
having to navigate through layers of menus.

You want me to make a purchase over the phone? Then answer my call in
short order giving me as little grief as possible, else I'll take my
business to someone else who will.

Bet the pr0n company's phone sex lines are handled personally.
