I’d recommend reading Enshittification by Cory Doctorow if you’re interested in the subject. He argues that there are some specific causes. To name a few:
The US has been lax on enforcing antitrust laws, meaning there are fewer and larger companies, and less competition forcing them to not be shitty
Technology has allowed them to do a lot more shitty things and obfuscate bad practices. This includes being able to communicate faster as well as other things.
Sounds like Cory is pointing fingers. Has any society ever curtailed our hunger for more? Harnessed that of the underclass. Gave free rein to that of the overclass. Yes. But never inhibited.
