SOFTWARE HAS EATEN THE MEDIA

Summary from the TLDR Product newsletter

Both public and private markets prioritize revenue growth over product quality or human welfare, leading to layoffs and mismanagement in tech and media industries. Executives prioritize investor satisfaction over user needs, resulting in the decay of creativity, innovation, and journalistic integrity. Tech's obsession with AI reflects a broader trend of prioritizing symbolic value creation over genuine customer benefit, exacerbating societal issues like spam advertising and deceptive subscription practices.
