I didn't mention impacted, I said important.
Is it a bad thing if those giant tech companies come back down to earth? I would argue no. They do not provide value, they extract it, generally, and play shitty games with taxes.
What good does Meta provide to humanity? Why do I pay netflix to watch ads? Why does google ignore their own search api directives when I put a word in quotes? (To show ads) The only possible actual value amazon created is AWS, the rest is peddling garbage products from garbage vendors. Apple lost the plot somehow with their sw/hw stack, they could use a wakeup. And tesla, ironically, seems poised to be the first domino to tip, the cybertruck is a disaster.
If those companies have such a significant impact on global citizens, they probably should blow up, that isn't a "good thing" at all, that much influence.
