Innovations still help people loads, that's a crazy pessimistic generalization.

Yes of course the trashy tech bro nonsense isn't helping you, but what about RNA vaccines during covid? What about all of the medical work and innovation going into cancer treatment? What about all of the work and innovation going into reducing carbon emissions so we don't ruin our planet? I could go on for a long time.

Real innovation in mainstream tech may be mostly stagnant and lame, but there will always be useful and helpful innovation.

Of course, there still are helpful innovations. I guess I should say it's obvious 85% of corporations are just profit chasing and rent seeking at this point. There is no global drive forward anymore. Everything is about squeezing the most profit out of whatever. Our infrastructure alone is proof of that.
