Although, I would argue that often those providing local goods and services don't have the time/resources/knowledge to create the platforms these remote corporations make, which often provide significant improvements in efficiency or increased commerce. I agree that siphoning large amounts of value out of local economies is not a good thing, but I honestly think that that phenomenon is a problem with the way our social structure (and generally conservative taxation/welfare system) works and less a fault of large companies.
