Thanks for the ping, alpha!

..."mostly ran on a business model to make worshipers feel good and were shallow in their theology.[...]
The megachurches simply wanted individuals to feel good about themselves, he said."

For the time will come when they will not endure sound doctrine; but [wanting] to have their ears tickled, they will accumulate for themselves teachers in accordance to their own desires;
and will turn away their ears from the truth, and will turn aside to myths.
--2 Timothy 4:3-4 (NAS)

Sadly, it is not just megachurches that do this! (And no, I'm not saying ALL megachurches do!)

make worshipers feel good

That sounds like what the schools started doing many years ago, making children feel 'entitled'! That certainly isn't the purpose of a church.
