Driving yes, but the system at least used to pretend to reward innovations, now it just doubles down over and over on made up concepts to move money around.
Capitalism. If you are using the word enshittification, it's capitalism.
Our world economy no longer rewards innovation. We are at the stage where winnowing begins. The market is now just shareholders. They demand the line goes up, fuck the consumer.
So in place of innovation we have increasing minutaie.
From the finance sector (derivatives of derivatives of derivatives) to production (shrinkflation, shipping broken products, live service bullshit, subscription models, blah blah blah) only adding more kinks to the maze generates capital now, not increasing the size of the maze.
I apply for a job at a company that isn't really hiring. I've got some bona fides (my dad worked there back in the day) so they send me a message to come interview. I ghost them. Do they chase me down or just say "fuck it, they're not serious and we're full anyway"?
Or both sides are telling the same lie about a weird fuckup for reasons.
What? There is a huge financial incentive to do well. 2023 had a prize pot of $2.2 billion to be split amongst the points holders.
Haas just fired their Team Principal for that reason. They dumped Schumacher after 2022 for the same reason.
Teams need to win to secure sponsorships and get a cut of the prize money.
Andretti-Cadillac was rejected, and this is 100% percent factual, because they did not attend a required face-to-face with the FOM because the scheduling email went to spam.
Andretti confirmed this a few days ago.
2025 development was also cited, but a face-to-face meeting would've probably assuaged those fears.
