Fucking hate capitalism's need for infinite growth, flat sales means you're doing exactly the same as you were doing last year, if it was sustainable last year it's sustainable this year
Especially for a company that is little more than a platform
LESS COMPLAINING MORE BREEDING AND BUYING (whip emoji)
COMPLAIN WHILE YOU FUCK SO WE CAN SELL YOUR CHILDREN HAND CRAFTED BABY BOTTLES.
FILLED WITH LEAD JUICE WATER SO THEY CAN BE MORE SMURT

There is likely some development occurring that is assumed to be funded by future growth. If that growth doesn't pan out, then the addition of features may not be economically viable.
As an example of a website who did it right, look at Craigslist. After their website was developed, there has been very little development outside of targeted areas meant to grow their revenue stream or make the site easier to manage.
