Been thinking about this a lot lately because of alot of the products I’ve paid for in the past. The streaming services have horrible ui and s***ty content, the video game companies rush out unfinished bullshit just to charge 60-70 dollars and have everything locked behind micro transactions, movie studios don’t even want to pay the writers so we’ve been stuck with bullshit sequels and remakes for years now. I could keep going but I think you get it, as a business owner myself I simply don’t understand why all these big executives don’t understand that a good product will get you a way more money than rushing everything and charging a bunch for extra bullshit no one asked for. I understand that their sole focus is profit but I know that eventually this tunnel vision approach to business is gonna bite these idiots in the ass soon.

Consoomer

Must consooom

Many businesses try to focus on one specific group of people. Sometimes they have a certain image of their " perfect customer". You won‘t see any Koenigsegg commercials cause they know only bloodthirsty capitalists with polos could by their s***.

Oh @op talking bout something different my bad

It‘s because of capitalism baby!

why don’t you ask them

cause we keep buying

If you let a company get away with doing the bare minimum, they'll do the bare minimum. People pay for those streaming services, movies and video games and any improvement in product would not improve their ROI as much as they'd like.

Shareholders baby! Gotta maximize profits, which means cuts, cuts, cuts, and more cuts, along with increasing prices!

This is true but in the case of the video game industry a lot of the worst offenders have a monopoly of sorts over the specific kind of games they make cough EA cough which makes sense to me but if you’re Netflix, hbo max and Hulu watering down your product makes absolutely no sense to me, MAKE THE BEST SERVICE POSSIBLE

Customer service has taken a nosedive as well. I get it though, people are fed up and being paid very little

People subscribe for the content, not the UI

It’s because they know what to do better than you think you know

So they pump out the absolute bare minimum bullshit. Until they can’t. Then they come back with strong service to build rapport again with a new customer base. Rinse and repeat and ride out market booms/busts and shareholders win over 30 years rather than 10.

True but if you’re constantly removing and canceling all the good s*** and I can barely navigate the app without raging why even have the audacity to raise prices

I f***ing hate the concept of shareholding. People will invest in shares which incentivises companies to make more cuts so people end up spending more money. But “i get a return on investment :)” BRO EVERYONE IS SPENDING MORE MONEY FOR S***TER GOODS AND SERVICES

Inb4 theres no alternative

theyre selling to the lowest common denominator

it works because trying to appeal to sophisticated audiences is far more difficult

it's money bro it's always money

theres always someone doing something cool. just dig deeper

Businessmen are actually dumb as nails when it comes to anything other than making money

On the other hand this is a sad truth

I didn’t think of this. A lot of the reason services are getting s***tier is because a lot of people think slop is solid gold

And when interest rates climb 1%, they're not good at that either

I get that but if I started selling exclusively boof at my shop people would stop f***ing with me, they can’t keep getting a with this if I can’t f*** my customers over why can they
