Youtube, twitter, and reddit have obviously been in the news a lot recently, but every day business applications also seem to just keep getting worse. Got new PCs at work which means version updates, and pretty much everything we use (autocad, adobe acrobat, and ms office, mainly) all seem to run much slower, despite the computers having substantially higher specs. Love that I can't use any old versions or alternatives because they refuse to grant me admin access.

I love capitalist innovation! Why make things better when you could just make them worse and charge more?

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
