If it was just about maintenance costs, that would be easy. By being public, Twitter and Reddit will need to always grow revenue, every year they are expected to bring in more money than the previous. Stable and sufficient are not good enough, it will always need to be more. And that's how these apps get shitty.
I'm genuinely curious what the maintenance costs really are. I'm also wondering about equitable ways to share that cost.
Just seconding this - it seems like it's just never enough for these companies or owners. It can be a solid, steadily growing thing and yet that expectation isn't high enough. Eventually it must always be ramped up to constant obnoxious extremes. Speaking to the author's point, there's just never enough. Every space must eventually be consumed by this awful mentality and worldview until what makes it worthwhile is eradicated. It just sucks.
