Jesus Christ, can we leave things alone that aren't infinitely growing
"Gentlemen, it's come to our attention that every one who could pay to use our product is paying to use our product. Unfortunately, it also means we're no longer growing infinitely like we promised the shareholders we would. How do we fix this?"
The infinite growth mindset is so fucking stupid. Like, you're still making an insane amount of money, what's the fucking problem?
Yup. Shareholders are the problem, who bought shares at price X and want to sell those shares at X+Y.
And they will do anything to get it.
Yes but what they stupidly never realize is Y is a signed integer not unsigned
