Does following the stock market make you jaded about capitalism?


Why do layoffs make shareholders happy? Why does making a product shittier for the average person (i.e. streaming with ads/cracking down on password sharing, using cheaper materials) increase the stock price?

Like yes the profits go up but I wonder why it has to be like this. Would appreciate your thoughts and/or optimism

EDIT: I'm not looking for a fight just different perspectives. This is not a personal attack against you or your belief system. Please relax if you're getting angry at this question.

EDIT 2: Asked mods to lock this post. Thank you to people who added rational, civilized comments.
