    This seems to happen every time a technology company grows beyond some threshold of size/market share/revenue. I can’t think of a single exception.

      The stock market literally forces companies to be evil. Once you do an IPO, you’re contractually obliged to be shitty in order to bring higher revenues.

        Not just the stock market but i’m pretty sure it’s a legal precedent that companies must prioritize shareholders over anyone else.
