>@grok why does profit seeking ruin everything?
your misery is the natural state of capitalism. you've believed the lie all your life that capitalism creates competition which creates optimal products through market pressures. the reality is that capitalism creates profit seekers which creates enshittified products through profit maximization
>but no one will want the product if its shit
ah, no one will want the product long term if its shit, but you're stuck with it short term. and if all the other market players also race to the bottom, then there will never be a good product to supercede the bad products

tldr, any time a question starts with "why do companies", the answer is always: capitalism working as intended
