  There's always ways of looking at things negatively: Stripe = Eat the gift economy and replace it with monetized capitalism. Cruise = Mass unemployment for truckdrivers, plus inevitable computer-controlled accidents. DropBox = Oh noes, your files belong to a company and you don't have physical possession of them anymore. Gusto = [...I'm having a hard time here, people still need to get paid and ADP sucks.] Maybe "encouraging people to start businesses who would be better off in stable employment". Gitlab = Think of all the potential copyright infringement! The question is - which negative things do you want to believe? And how do they compare to the positive things the company does? It takes a minimum amount of effort to dream up something bad about a company's core value proposition, but that's not the whole company, unless you put blinders on.
