I'm actually impressed that an 18 year old has this attitude and hasn't been swayed by the free-market fundamentalism so prevalent among the HN crowd.
Too many people treat as a truism the idea that if people are buying or using something provided by a company then that thing is obviously of great positive value to society and should be nurtured and grown.
It's an incredibly naive, irresponsible and socially and ecologically destructive viewpoint in my opinion.
