I tell idiot neoliberals this all the time. Yes capitalism rewards innovation more than any system in history. That's true. But the innovation it rewards is "innovative new ways to make profit" not "innovative new ways to make the world better." Innovation for innovations sake is worthless and the rapid enshitification of the Internet is a great example

Every service needs an app and you can’t use their service without the app and the app was put together by an intern that was actively being sexually harassed by the CFO. And if a company has had an app that’s functioned for 5 years they’ll update it now every 8 months in a way that either breaks all functionality or puts in an awful redesign that has basically the same outcome
Spotify has gotten worse every six months for like 4 years. I hate it.
Part of the reason Foobar2k is my favorite audio player is that it hasn't changed significantly in the entire time i've used it

I'm still upset about this happening to the weatherunderground app years ago, it was perfect for my needs and then they fucked it all up for no reason.
I'm still mad Apple bought Dark Sky and apparently never integrated their tech because Apple Weather is dogshit
