As I get older, I feel less willing to give them the benefit of the doubt. It's very charming to imagine these businesses spending their formative years breaking bread with each other and acting innocent, but they had to move fast and break things to get where they are today. Jobs had a direct hand in Apple's offshoring that would turn out to be equal parts blessing and curse. Sergey Brin supposedly invented AdSense himself. Zuckerberg... well, the less that's said about him the better. And getting down to it, I don't think it's hard to imagine all of it as marketing fluff either. Humanist marketing fluff, sure, but written with the intent of selling products for certain. Who nowadays would accept "Think Different" from a company that releases the same 3 products every year, or "Don't be evil" from the most detrimental company in America? The Grubers of the world always looked like self-absorbed fools, but they went from being Bloomberg's crown jewel to Twitter (sorry, X) pundits.
