We all know the struggle of beloved services slowly going downhill. What’s one service, tool, or website you’ve been using for years that’s still great and hasn’t turned to crap?

    Idk, plenty of companies that tick all three boxes and are not like this at all.
    A single owner vs a company without a principal shareholder & how they threat humans is just a gamble.

    Overall it does have to do with ownership & how the company culture was built tho - in Valve there are like 20 people running a billon monies company. They all have enough, and are happy.

    Oh, and Valve it’s def a “for profit” c company, being an actual non-profit is a completely different thing.

      A for-profit company is a very specific thing. It means a company that’s required, by law, to put profit above everything else. Valve may be a for-profit company but as far as I know it isn’t.
