- drdeca 6mo agoI think the issue might be that some people don’t actually mean “every” when they say “every”, and don’t recognize when they are speaking hyperbolically? Or, something like that?
- freedomben 6mo agoYes, That plus a tendency toward binary thinking, which is something many people on hn seem to heavily suffer from.

It's not about a single contribution but about what is better - a lot of power in the hands of a large corp which can afford to obstruct with impunity and do the opposite of "do no evil" versus several smaller players who have to actually compete and are concerned about their image.
- john_strinlai 6mo ago>So? Many smaller players actually contribute more. the claim was that no one should expect google to do anything good for the web or humanity "EVER". the existence of even one good thing is to refute that point. but your sibling comment is probably correct. people say "EVER" but dont mean it literally, or something. its very confusing to me.
