everyone seems mad these days

for a good reason. everything is enshittified and most of the global economy is just financial engineering

100% it's just a way to get us to buy things. Sometimes it feels like the rich are all trying to plan their exit by finding any way possible to take money from people.

Somehow I am starting to feel like that it is not even about taking the money or exit. It is about making numbers go up. Anything for that goal. Without any actual plan for end goal or keeping it together in the end.

Well, the success of enshittification reflects a lot about general population. Just like how the meaningless TV content reflects people's taste. It's just evolution. Things boil down to what people really want or can tolerate.

I think it's just mindless, and not in service of any kind of plan.

But that's really unsatisfying, so there's a strong temptation to think there's a plan and look for one. Sort of like the situations that lead to conspiracy theories.
