All kinds of “timesavers” or “productivity enhancers”. All of these are just to get YOU to do more.
I find that I save 100% of the time it takes to accomplish tasks by not doing them at all.
We really need to be more wary of everything that promises to do more, faster.

And doing things faster is not the same as doing better, but often the opposite

BINGO, you are talking my philosophy of life. I always hate how my 1990s-2000s jobs started jacking-up how much work they wanted employees to achieve in same amount of time. My 70s year old father & his father & brothers & sisters was way ahead of this modern trend, & it always drove me crazy, because the products they produced was not as good as supposed to be & their corporate customers never cared. Inam just made to rush through quality & treating customers correctly.

Hustle culture is a cancer honestly. Way too many people have internalized it and feel guilty for resting. I put myself in this bucket too, but I’m working on undoing that cycle these days.
Not going hard 100% of the time doesn’t make you lazy, it makes you healthy. Lazy is so far on the other end of the spectrum.

That’s what the whole ludite movement was about.

Ludite Moment was about machines making so fewer employees needed resulting in companies throwing unneeded employees out.

Yeah, it’s always about the rich getting rich faster in the end. That’s why efficiency and productivity are pushed so hard. And, then the poors take that idea to heart as if they’ll gain from it themselves.
