    I know we are on lemmy so corporations are bad and capitalism is bad and so on and so forth…

    But there is not one aspect of my life that hasn’t been improved upon greatly by one or more tech companies over the course of my life.

    There are new problems that I never would have expected to deal with that have come up as a side effect of this improvement, but it’s way too reductive to imply that tech companies haven’t changed the world for the better as well.

      It’s a net sum to me. The harm they have done to our society and planet far outweigh and good that has come with it. Technology isn’t inherently evil but these tech companies that only care about profit at all cost are.
