> How do you reconcile them as idealists who want less monopolization and more openness and better privacy, yet at the same time aren't doing it for amassing wealth? I never said they were all idealists. I'm saying being complacent to negative change is different from actively driving it. > What other reason could there be for doing a job one doesn't want to do? I never said they didn't want to do the job, just that if it were up to them they might do it differently. They're still building and improving systems, just not in all of the ways they may want to. I'm not painting people as angels and demons. I'm just tracing this phenomenon down to its baseline driver.
