Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.
I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?
Apparently the advertising money is drying up because internet advertising flat out doesn't work, so now all the massive monopolistic platforms are trying to monetize their shitty platforms before the funding runs out and they all crash.
Which is once again a reminder that all fundamental internet utilities should be run by the Post Office or something.
