I like how capitalism can boost innovative ideas but I also hate how it's eager to burst them into flames just to jump on the next thing to make more money.

Almost every service I know quickly moves from the "it's cool" phase to the "get this other feature you don't need" phase just to get a 0.6% extra of growth.

So many great services are now packed with ads and useless features that just make the experience worse and filled with annoying bells and whistles.

YouTube and Reddit are just two examples, they're increasingly more annoying to use and if there were decent alternatives in terms of content I'd jump to them in a blink. Instead, for now, I just pretty much stopped using Reddit and go to YouTube only when I truly need, for how much I despise the quantity of ads and smoke they throw at you.
