Why does it feel like we're at a point where every social media + other digital media are making shitty decisions and falling apart? - eviltoast

I mean there’s Reddit ofc, as well as Twitter in its entirety, Discord is implementing some dumb updates, there are issues with Tumblr as well as everything to do with Meta, and I’m sure there are plenty more (and I haven’t even touched other digital media, for example the Sims). Why is it all happening in the span of about a couple months?

    Capitalism is good at creating things, but terrible at maintaining their quality over time, because at the end of the day profits don’t always go hand in hand with product quality

      The sad truth. For example, Insta Pot has gone bankrupt recently because they built their stuff too well, and no one needed to buy more than one. Capitalism is the reason we have planned obsolescence and deliberately poor build quality of products.
