It's always been like that.

The costs involved with maintaining garbage are infinitely more than maintaining something well built.

This is why software is so lucrative.. because the true cost of the software isn't how much you pay for it .. it's "how much is it going to cost you to change to something else?"

It's not making bad, it's making cheaper/faster. They probably hired less experimented developers or didn't give them proper time to implement the features they wanted.

Its been a long running joke between me and some friends that if you want to get rich, you should make a dating app.

1. Desperate men come in hordes. 2. You will probably get bought out by match group for millions.

Of course there are moral qualms and also it may not be actually just as easy as that.
