- dotps1 2y agoIt's always been like that. The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built. This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay for it .. it's "how much is it going to cost you to change to something else?"
- advael 2y agoA great argument against relying on any software you can't control if ever I heard one
- rkachowski 2y agothe costs of maintaining something well built that no-one uses are very low indeed. unfortunately trash is cheaper and faster, and it takes a certain kind of genius insanity to sell something well built that doesn't exist yet.
- gregoriol 2y agoIt's not making bad, it's making cheaper/faster. They probably hired less experimented developers or didn't give them proper time to implement the features they wanted.
- advael 2y agoI agree, making something cheaply and quickly is a great way to make it bad, and thus profitable
- sureglymop 2y agoIts been a long running joke between me and some friends that if you want to get rich, you should make a dating app. 1. Desperate men come in hordes. 2. You will probably get bought out by match group for millions. Of course there are moral qualms and also it may not be actually just as easy as that.
