The whole idea of investments always going up is an absurd idea that needs to go. At this point I infinitely prefer a private company over a publicly traded one.
It's a bit of an inherent issue sadly, if your goal is to multiply money why would you invest in a company whose profits stay the same over one whose go up? And you have no reason to care if the company eventually dies as a result, you just move your money into the next one.
And most people investing money will be doing so with the only purpose of multiplying that money, as it's mostly banks and similar institutions. In theory if the main investors of a company want it to prioritize user experience over profits, the companies' duty to its shareholders would also be to ensure good user experience. But that's never going to happen.
It's not even an "idea". They legally have to do whatever they can to make it go up. It's idiotic and poisonous.
