- solardev 2y agoThe argument isn't that they're free from corruption and ideology, but that they're the only real check the public has against powerful monopolies and duopolies, etc. At a certain scale, competition breaks down and entrenched enshittification happens.* An average person has some (tiny) input in a representative democracy, where it's one person one vote (even if several layers removed, and only appointed by proxy etc.). They have no real say in a corporation that's usually one dollar one vote. * Yeah, it happens to governments too!
