>Absolutely agreed. It feels like tech companies forgot that they are supposed to add value to users.

They literally have forgotten as they’re just following orders from investors (public or private).

Before those orders were “get as many users as possible” as valuation is based on credibility of reaching TAM.

Now the orders are “just use AI as this will be necessary to stay relevant and avoid being displaced” in addition to of course “profitability now”
