I said this elsewhere but that’s not true. The idea that publicly traded companies have a duty to maximize shareholder value is a myth, and anyone privileged enough to sit on a board of directors likely knows this. See this article for an explanation. Every time a board squeezes a company for short term profits at the cost of long term good will, long term profits, etc., that is because they chose to do so.

Well the relation is wrong but it's a real thing, they have a duty to grow infinitely or the sroxk price will crash and since that's impossible to achive they essentially have to squeeze their users for short term gains to seem like they still grow sooner or later

This isn't a thing.

Here's another article explaining why and how it isn't a thing, and also why people like you think it is.

Honestly, I don't care to continue this conversation, even the attempt to convince people like you is rather pointless

“People like me” meaning “People who cite their sources and investigating claims before making them?” Yes, I can understand why you might find it difficult to convince “people like me” to believe something that’s trivially shown to be false.
