This podcast created from Edward Zitron's article, "Never Forgive Them," argues that the tech industry prioritizes growth above all else, leading to a degraded user experience across various platforms. It contends that this "Rot Economy" manifests in manipulative designs, aggressive monetization tactics, and a disregard for user well-being. Zitron names several tech leaders, accusing them of prioritizing profit over ethical considerations and creating a system that harms users on a massive scale. He proposes that this pervasive manipulation has profound psychological consequences and calls for collective action to hold these companies accountable. The article uses numerous examples of specific companies and products to illustrate his points, highlighting the negative impact of the tech industry's relentless pursuit of growth. Ultimately, Zitron advocates for a societal shift away from accepting this status quo.
