Agreed on Bezos, for a long time. Perhaps one reason he retired, is Amazon got so big he couldn’t see any more significant long term growth, relative to its monstrous size, without enshittification: Extorting income from partners, using sales data from third parties to compete with them, forcing ads and a gamed search onto customers. He could only (or only wanted to) hold off Wallstreet for as long as he had a better plan. Other than staying private, with stakeholders who care about the discipline & rewards of only finding quality growth (even if that path isn’t always clear), I don’t know of a way out of that trap. I am no hippie, but I don’t think public ownership has found the perfect structure yet. There must be a way to better incentivize positive sum-only games. Keeping individual company growth tied more closely with customer improvement.
