On a tangent, why there is a general feeling of decline everywhere from Adobe's frustrated customer base to Boeing to Intel and Google's search returning pages and pages of sponsored ads?
What's happening?
- Jgrubb 2y agoProbably just decades of quarterly thinking, deregulation, consolidation, extraction, socialized losses, and privatized wins arriving at their obvious and inevitable destination.

- orev 2y agoIt’s caused by Wall St’s need to see constant growth, which becomes cancerous once a company has completely dominated its global market. The company is forced to squeeze existing customers once it’s no longer possible to find new ones (because the pool of all possible customers has already been converted to actual customers).
- Schiendelman 2y agoThis is normal, interestingly. The companies you're used to are aging. New companies are supplanting them as new ideas win. More and more computing is done on phones, meaning Apple, TSMC, Qualcomm, and others are replacing Intel. Adobe is being supplanted by Pixelmator, Blackmagic, and even Instagram. Some of Boeing is being supplanted by SpaceX. Some will be replaced with companies like Boom, and Anduril. This is the hardest one - military contractors have a thumb on the scale from our government. What you're seeing is not decline - it's that these industries are changing in ways that are hard to recognize.
