Lol, short of going out and killing these bastards there isn’t much else I can do other than to stop supporting these services. I have to hope if enough folks like me stop using these services they will fail. There is a point where it only takes one straw to break the camels back.
That’s basing your imagination that we’re a meritocracy. There’s meaning behind the saying “failing upwards”. I don’t know how to counteract it either, but their success comes from failure. Let alone the Island stuff.
What are you even talking about? I didn’t say shit about meritocracy or failing upwards. I’m talking about not supporting those services and platforms that support evil.
Right, and I’m trying to explain to you that it’s not what they base their success on. I know you mean well, but we’re not a meritocracy and they do fail upwards.
It has little to do with protection and more to do with keeping a clean conscience. I won’t support evil.
I mean, congrats? Kind of irrelevant to the discussion here, then.

No they’re capitalists. They base their success off of money. No users or even less users, means less money.
Look at all the bad news coming out about Tesla and Musk all together, and his wealth increased from like 300bil to 700bil :/
His bubble will pop eventually too. He can’t stay inflated forever. He’s completely propped up by lies and schemes.
