I disagree, many companies are still great even after going public in the last decade:

Shopify, Cloudflare, Zoom, Spotify, Roblox, and Coinbase are all notable examples.






"Great" for the majority of these is a stretch. There's no shortage of complaints about how Spotify treats both artists and customers, and Roblox enjoys yearly controversies from how it provides access to and exploits its customer base of children.

I use Zoom and Spotify and both of those have gone downhill dramatically. Spotify to the extend that I really don't use it anymore.

Of those I only use Spotify and it pesters me at all hours of the day.

Bruh, Spotify has been absolutely shit, and their practices and push towards AI and completely unusuable suggestions algorithm are making it more and more shit.
