Steve, you are
so right. I am personally in an industry that is dying, and dying far more rapidly than the people who run it ever dreamed, because the product they deliver is increasingly of little or no value to greater numbers of people. Our customers are all older and don't want to live in the digital age, so every time one of them dies...there goes more ad dollars, etc. What's more, I have come to understand that the product is also actually harmful to people. I didn't used to think that; I thought we were helping people. But we're not. We are part of the problem. (And yes, at the moment I include myself in that.) We are all going to be better off when my (current) industry, so negative in tone and totally dysfunctional, is simply gone. WAY better off.
And yes, for the record, I'm getting out.
