Yeah, hate is a strong word. Then again helping people build generic crappy apps - which seems like is most of the user base - is probably disheartening.

I worked for a SEO company for about a year making SaaS tools to help "analyze keywords", "supply backlinks", "generate content" and other woo woo magic. Waking up and walking to work was fun for only the first month :/

Most of the users made crappy copy-paste websites and did whatever they could to get a better rank on search engines.

People who copy-paste crappy websites into life don’t lack the _tools_ to create ‘compelling creations’, they lack the will.
