This is all a result of short termism. Short term profits from dark behaviours trump long term profits from satisfied customers. Why is this behaviour of publicly traded companies surprising to anyone? It’s not unique to software either.
It’s the economic system that needs to change, not the devs.
- jacooper 4y ago100%, I think its really time for regulations. I applaud the EU's recent regulations for tech, especially the digital markets act.
- holyknight 4y agoYeah, EU is really a thriving market for tech and innovation right?
- yunwal 4y agoI would personally give up the “thriving” market if it meant software was developed with users interests in mind. Much of the tech growth in the U.S. doesn’t actually result in higher quality of life in the long run
- PeterisP 4y agoThe point of these regulations is acknowledging and asserting that users (and people in general) matter more than a thriving market for tech and innovation - yes, user-hostile software benefits the market, but that's a cost we aren't willing to pay.
- jacooper 4y agoAs if that has to do with anything relating to regulation?
- CatWChainsaw 4y agoWhy do you value tech and innovation over the actual customer experience?
