And it's why I hate capitalism as a consumer.

"People need an incentive to invent things!"

Well, if that incentive is making money instead of making a great thing, it's probably not going to be a great thing. Great things make money.

Oh hey, that’s why I hate capitalism as an engineer. The endless pursuit of profit first rather than making good things that people want is disheartening as someone who just wants to make things that make life better

Listen. We need you to shave another $0.13 off the cost of the unit. Just like, reduce the quality a bit. No end user will ever notice.

3D printing is such a boon for this. You can make things for yourself put it online for free, and other people can also make it. There's no need for a profit incentive. I hope in the future everyone owns a 3D printer.
