# Capitalist Software
Capitalist software is [software](software.md) that late stage [capitalism](capitalism.md) produces and is practically 100% [shitty](shit.md) [modern](modern.md) [bloat](bloat.md) and [malware](malware.md) hostile to its users, made with the sole goal of benefiting its creator (often a [corporation](corporation.md)). Capitalist software is not just [proprietary](proprietary.md) corporate software, but a lot of times "[open source](open_source.md)", [indie](indie.md) software and even [free software](free_software.md) that's just infected by the toxic capitalist environment -- this infection may come deep even into the basic design principles, even such things as [UI](ui.md) design, priorities and development practices and subtle software behavior which have simply all been shaped by the capitalist pressure on abusing the user.

It is for example known that social media "[apps](app.md)" made by [corporations](corporation.md) are designed to induce psychological addiction, they will for example use bright colors and even make the colors brighter as one scrolls through comments as that psychologically rewards the user -- this undesirable and highly harmful kind of design is then culturally standardized, people accept that "this is how programs look and behave", and such standards subsequently have to be adopted by any program that wants to be popular (or, as a normie will usually always it: "intuitive").
