(lemmy.dbzer0.com) submitted 1 year ago by Davy_Jones@lemmy.dbzer0.com to c/asklemmy@lemmy.ml 206 comments fedilink hide all child comments 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?

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. permalink fedilink source parent [–] prole@lemmy.blahaj.zone 2 points 1 year ago Isn't Nebula owned/ran by content creators? Or have I misunderstood what that service is entirely? permalink fedilink source parent load more comments (-1 replies)
