I wish people stopped pretending that dodgy apps marketed at general public are the only things that exist. I've just checked HN front page.. topmost post by commercial entity is by Lago [0], " Open Source Metering & Usage-Based Billing" This is exactly what people want (they market to programmers, not to managers). There is zero "value extraction" and zero "trapping users" (except by providing a great product they want). There is no "commercializing social interaction" nor "destroying the practice of journalism", etc... There are B2B, developer tools, hardware makers, essential services... Plenty of nice things which do not have to break fabric of society. [0] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40005005 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=40005005
