Which raises the question: Are these actually tech companies? Or simply 21st Century advertising (platform) companies - dependant on technology - whose primary goal is to exploit human nature for profit?
Abandon the idea that these are still tech companies and the world makes more sense (and gets more dystopian).
- kevindamm 3y agoThere are tech companies and there are tech startups. They behave differently, and it gets incredibly hard to remain a startup when the employee headcount is in 5-6 figures. The ability to f-* prices up is more a startup thing, imo. I think these large tech companies are, as you say, something different now.
