>This is one of the most depressing parts about working in tech for me. Basically no company is content with making a good product (for some definition of what that even means, that phrase itself is obviously subjective). Ideally a site/app is solving a real problem for their users, and they could make a simple, clear, and consistent interface that exposes that solution and trust the user to make the best use of it to address their need.
Your post nailed it. It's become positively disgraceful.
The only thing I would add, is that it's not just "tech" companies doing this. Every medium-large corporation is looking to squeeze more revenue out of existing customers no matter the moral implications, and no-matter whether it's good for the customer.
