    Companies are so removed from what users want, they only focus on what shareholders want to hear and don’t consider that users will hate it.

        So to ensure that a company is more likely to be customer focused, rather than shareholder focused, it’s likely a good idea to only go for companies not listed on the american stock exchanges?

        Too bad, that long-term users still kind of decide the fate of the company (as shareholders at some point realize that their share probably is not worth it).

        I’m really keen to see when this happens to Tesla, I’m thinking about shorting the stock, it’s so vastly overvalued, and there’s strong competition and sales are crashing everywhere (because of too much Nazi)

          Yeah, that’s really the kicker, isn’t it? Legally beholden to the shareholders who demand short term profits forever and ever, risking the loss of long-term customers.

          It’s a guaranteed death.

      But then users use it anyway for some reason. Many people care so little.
