This reads like an Onion headline.

Gosh, I hope the media never unearths the documents on my company.

They’ll learn that keeping my customers coming back was also my top priority. The horror!

If they dig a little deeper they might uncover a vast conspiracy, that every business on earth has been secretly conspiring for decades to give people a service so good they’ll come back again and again for it.

If this isn’t Pulitzer Prize winning journalism I don’t know what is.

You're out of touch. The modern approach is to give people a service just barely good enough so they don't leave outright and keep them coming back with fomo, clickbait, and pandering to their worldview. I doubt user satisfaction is even a column in a table at social media companies.

Most services I use are worse than they were 10 years ago but make far more money.

Edit:

By the way, the customers here are not the users, they're the advertisers. The users are largely disposable eyeball inventory.

Social media is a marketplace business. Both parties are your customer.

Only one party is paying anything.
