They're supposed to be the one that lead the company to become better and bring in changes, and take the fall if something happened. They make decision for the company. But often its result in someone of nepotism/cronyism background with the boards and just sit there being useless, or someone the board of directors merely bring in to take the fall. The position itself is very useful for small private limited company, as the founder might not have the expertise to lead and inspire confidence from the worker.

"Better," meaning higher profits and stock price.

That's a given. Else there's no need to hire a CEO.

I disagree.

AI could be CEO. That way there's no bias, malfeasance, or lack of confidence.

I don't give two fucks about shareholder's "interests." Or gambling addicts in general.

It's not about "you" so let's don't make it about you. You don't give two fuck but shareholder, publicly traded company or otherwise, do.

And I don't give two fucks about your investment.

See, when you become an adult, you stop being offended when other humans don't like what you like, or care about your interests.
