Microsoft - erosion of any motivation to understand your PC so they can put whatever they want in their updates and you won’t know until you dig through the logs
Facebook - erosion of any critical thinking by rewarding echo chambers and groupthink. Just look at their Metaverse shite.
Amazon - erosion of labour standards and publishing anti-union propaganda to prevent workers from realising they’re being abused. Also, instituting anti-competitive measures and strongarming third party sellers.
OpenAI (insert any LLM/generative model company) - erosion of the creative process thus allowing people with zero artistic expression to plagiarise other artists’ work
EA (or any AAA studio but also Nintendo) - erosion of consumer rights to own the products they buy and preventing any effort to preserve their games AND THEN complaining about piracy.

Dear lord, it is so exhausting to list these out.
“Erosion of consumer rights” goes for pretty much all tech large companies.
“you will own nothing and be happy” seems to be the way the new standard way of living.
Very true. Subscription services and live service models are among the most parasitic inventions that have become common.
And you haven’t even reached Nestlé yet…
Not a tech company, just one of the worst companies. Thanks Switzerland.
