I mean, this totally fits the pattern of enshittification and the extraction of all actual value to maximize shareholder returns. Cut costs, make the product shitter, spend less money and claim losses to minimize taxes so that you can MAKE BANK BRO
It's times like this where I wish "stakeholders" had a say in the matter besides just the shareholders. I know it isn't my company and they can do what they want, but it's hard to just sit here watching it commit corporate suicide. It's gone way downhill since I joined in 2008 but still.
That would be pretty fantastic, wouldn't it? I'm not sure what that would look like in practice, but I'm 100% with you. Reddit has been a pretty central part of my life for the past 15 years or so. It's really sad to say goodbye - it feels like the family dog got bit by a zombie (or, more realistically, got rabies). You've gotta put it down because the version of it that you know and love is already dead.
