Tech has produced lots of useful things, but many of them are simply not good businesses, and many of the ones that are good businesses are run in a way that is so odious that it makes it hard for anyone to benefit.
Reddit is a great platform for lots of things, but making profit's not one of them. Amazon has revolutionized how people shop and consume all sorts of products but at massive economic and environmental cost. Discord and Slack and Zoom have made communication with friends/family/colleagues much much easier but struggle to make money.
Craigslist and Wikipedia are both pretty great, though. Don't see much downside to either of them.
