Who would have thought that overtly replacing your motto in such a way that everyone knows the new default is now "Be Evil" would have a negative effect on morale? Shocking

But hey, they can take the credit for the beginning of modern enshittification, so they've got that going for them anyways. Because their IPO was the death of the good version of the internet and everything they've done since has just made everything shittier and shittier. Almost like basing the entire society around greed is a mistake or something. whooda thunkit except literally everyone
