This isn't necessarily new, but it's gotten worse. I think we are past the point of capitalism providing any "good". You can argue we needed it for a bit to breed engenuity and creation, but at this point we are just making shit worse with our advancements.

I heard a subway take that the world would be better if the Internet was just turned off, and I'm starting to agree!

Ingenuity and creation was never made by capitalism. A great majority of those who created anything new that brought us forward in any aspect (let that be scientific, technological, societal etc. progress), didn't do it for the money, or the fame.

Capitalism isn't the driving force. It was never actually needed - but those dependent on exploiting the workers, will gladly tell you that you wouldn't have your iPhones or computers or any modern things was it not for capitalism. Don't believe them.
