I wonder if there is something like “The Peter Principle” for businesses.

> everyone is promoted to their level of incompetence

Where the business sees some success and grows until they lose the thing that everyone liked about them to begin with

Business outgrows their market or something.

Blizzard stops producing highly polished experiences for money.

Googles search results are degraded and littered with ads for money.

Microsoft shifts from software to consumer data collection and now my servers all have Xbox services and a touch UI for some stupid reason (sorry, for money).



"Either you die a hero, or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain."

It applies to politicians and businesses alike.
