What is wild to me is that profit alone isn’t sufficient.

Like. You’re paying people to do a thing and you’re getting more money back.

Why shutter it?

Like oh no I can’t make MORE money off of this might as well make nothing?

It's not enough to make money.

It's not enough to make more money than last year.

You've got to make more money and at a faster rate of increase than last year, every single year, or else as far as the execs are concerned, you're a fucking failure. Hence, everything getting worse, more expensive, and generally shittier all the time.
