>narcissist gets into position of power (usually nepo-baby or highly manipulative sociopath)
>slowly starts to change the product according to their dogshit beliefs
>everyone notices how things turn to shit, first people start to speak up
>internally, critics get silenced, while externally, they get hidden and ignored
>talent leaves the company because they are unhappy and make their own, new shit
>product becomes more and more shit because of the braindead narcissist constantly jerking off to his own pile of shit
