At, and beyond, a certain size, a lot of companies (but not all of course) end up full of self-serving "yes people".. Business- and money-focused people who joined the company after it took off with success, intent on "hitching a ride" for their own career growth..

(Inherently there's nothing wrong with this motivation, but I've found the kinds of people who seek out these opportunities tend to be of a certain type as described here)

Those people eventually drive out the passionate and user-focused creators who were initially responsible for the innovation and success, as they focus solely on value extraction and pleasing/supporting the executive leadership.

What happens next is.. this kind of enshittification.
