The Deterioration of Tech Platforms.

Tech companies like Google, Facebook, and Meta have prioritized their stock prices over the user experience, resulting in deteriorating core products and a lack of meaningful innovation. In an attempt to find a second growth engine, many companies have abandoned their original mission and resorted to hyper-monetizing every customer interaction. Fad-chasing has led to the integration of unproven or nonsensical technology onto products, creating Frankenstein tech that makes no sense. The focus on market performance incentivizes a rot economy that favors the illusion of growth at the expense of actual development, resulting in a lack of innovation and a degraded user experience.
