companies don’t build for users, they build for the shareholders. and the shareholders don’t use what companies build, nor do they talk to users.

i don’t know how to fix this, but framing the challenge this way has given me ideas and decisions to consider vs fully losing hope which many of us have exhaustively been fighting.

@jenn historically this was slightly less of a problem (not zero) because making money to pay shareholders meant selling your products.

Nowadays, most of these companies don't make money. Shareholders have too much money moving around so they just fund it.

What changed? Passive investment by institutional investors. Aka, mostly, Boomers 401k and charity/university endowments.

Want to solve the problem? Change retirement and endowments rules. They own 85% of the market.

@jenn basically the next question should be....

But who are the shareholders?
