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?

      This! Steam is the only proprietary program I use on my Linux machines that I’m actually happy with and don’t want to get rid of

          Idk, plenty of companies that tick all three boxes and are not like this at all.
          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.

          Isn’t Nebula owned/ran by content creators? Or have I misunderstood what that service is entirely?
