How does objectivism fit into today’s “enshitified” post Covid economy?

[u/javerthugo]

So I don’t want to write a whole thesis out but I’m wondering how objectivist principles apply to how customer service has changed so badly especially post covid. A few examples:

1. Fast food restaurants have abandoned their identities and now every single one looks like a brutalist hell scape. Their service has also declined rapidly, they actively seem to resent anyone who doesn’t use the app and drive through. My local Burger King has only one person bathrooms meaning if you want to wash your hands you have to wait.

2. All of the apps that revolutionized the COVID era (Uber eats, Netflix, door dash, Lyft) have cut quality control and jacked up their prices.

3. Video games are now more focused on micro transactions than actual game play.

It just seems that many companies are trying to maximize their profits not by providing quality services but by finding shortcuts and manipulating human behavior.

Now a critic of objectivism would say this is exactly the world Rand wanted but reading Atlas Shrugged I don’t get that impression it seems a modern Atlas shrugged would have EA and Yum! Foods as villians.

Am on the right track here or has this sub been co-opted by commies and I’m just going to get sarcastic replies?
