I get why all the sites are getting shittier (interest rates etc etc) -- but why are they all getting shittier in the same shitty dumb way?

it's never just ads or subscriptions, it's a shitty integrated fucking garbage algoritm driven with content you don't want to see shown to you, the interface is ALWAYS shittier and worse, no explanation, just that it looks 'modern'
i'm so fucking sick of it lads

I think it's the same principle that led to the slogan "Nobody ever got fired for choosing IBM". It's a list of checkboxes that someone can present to investors and get money.
I was just thinking something along these lines. Telling investors and venture capitalists that your site has "content algorithms" sounds a hell of a lot more professional than "we have ads and subscriptions", even if the algorithms in practice are just as bad, if not worse. What I've learned from my time in the corporate world is that quality of a product does not matter one bit, only how you sell the product marketing strategies and profit projections to investors.
