Bc post-industrial capitalism is only about short-term gains. Rather than play the long game and maximise the site's profit potential, it's much easier to make a quick return with a mediocre development and then start another project. The market is a win/win when it incorporates a certain degree of ethical/social responsibility, but that has slowly eroded over the last 40-50 years. As a result our political economy is far more fragile than it used to be and myopically dedicated to immediate gratification/profits. It's sort of like the individual's choice to look at cute internet cats all day rather than read a book. We all know the latter would be more rewarding over time, but it doesn't
feel that way because the immediate reward of cuteness is so addictive and omnipresent.
