"why are tech companies always changing the UI for no reason" you have no idea how much of tech is about looking busy to keep the higher ups happy
Tumblr user demilypyro:
enshittification happens because an app will reach a state where it's just Good and changing it would only make it worse. but companies always want to see numbers go up, so they will keep demanding that the devs "improve" on it. if they say they can't improve on it, the company will decide their jobs are pointless, and then they get fired, so all the devs can do is try to change stuff around without messing with things too much. if this doesn't lead to an increase in profits (and why would it?) the company will keep demanding changes, until eventually the app enshittifies source

There'll be a moment when you realise you're 27 when yesterday you were just 17; and you wouldn't be able to tell how a decade passed away and your life got divided into before and afters. The fury of youth will subdue and nothing will really change but everything will feel different when you look at old photographs and blurry videos taken on cheap mobile phones. Scents will remind you of childhood and certain friends you don't talk to anymore, hangouts will become reunions and mom's burnt pie will become the best food you ever had. And I know on some days you won't be able to show anything of those 10 years but I hope you remember to breathe, and let go of the knot in your chest. I hope you go out in the sun and live a little, because tomorrow is 37.
