Work for them? Quit. Use them? Don't. They and their ecosystem are individually toxic and societally destructive; they are bad for innovation, bad for the mark

Work for them? Quit.
Use them? Don't.
They and their ecosystem are individually toxic and societally destructive; they are bad for innovation, bad for the marketplace, and most of all, bad for the humans caught in their sociopathic pursuit of money via "engagement" at all and every cost.
This week alone the number of truly damning stories is infuriating, yet these are now some continual and commonplace, that it is hard to keep track of the myriad flavors of abuse, deceit, deception, double-dealing, and outright lies, including to putative oversight e.g. the US Congress.
If you work for or with them, you should take a hard look at the real costs and consequences, and see if you find your soul in order.
Abuse and parasitism at the expense of the common good and of individual lives and wellbeing is real, literal evil;
and you don't need to believe in the divine to know that doing evil has a cost.
Get off the ecosystem and work against it.
