It's hilariously apropos that employees are maximizing their revenue by solving a problem... that their employer created by maximizing its revenue (and underfunding support)
Isn't modern big tech always saying that employees should shut up and focus on the numbers / delighting users?
maximizing revenue != maximizing benefit for customer and/or society
Corporations' business model have not being long term sustainable, most of them have being off setting the hidden cost to environment, tax payers and general public for quite sometimes. Not event sure they can actually delighting users and make money at the same time.
The problem is they have zero incentive to make for-fee service to be any better than the free service. What are you gonna do, turn to somebody else for the same service?
These are highly skilled, highly profitable companies. If they’re not doing something, chances are they don’t wanna do it rather than incompetence
