The last paragraph is interesting and I think sums up what’s wrong with the whole zeitgeist of these tech and media companies: it can be good (and, I argue, is actually better) without being “worth billions”. This feeling that sustainability isn’t enough, decent profit isn’t enough, it has to be worth the GDP of a small country is awful, and it is always done at the expense of the users, who for the most part complacently don’t give a fuck. Unbound greed really is an ugly thing to see…

Edit: fixing autocorrect…
