As to the shareholder--Max/profits argument I use my ISP as an example. I own shares of stock. I will never by a share of Comcast stock for these reasons: I hate the company. I have hated the company since it's inception. I believe it should be split up by the federal government-- it's a monopoly in my house. Comcast employees hate Comcast. Comcast got much worse when they found out they could overcharge/lie for accesses to the Internet. Many investors don't invest in companies they Hate.
