I think about it very often. Most of big tech nowadays seems to be more about treating customers like shit, stalking them, bombarding them with ads, dark patterns, lies & fraud, intentionally misleading terms & conditions, etc. It's becoming very hard to find a gig where my work will actually make people happy instead of just being a necessary evil they have to put up with.

Right, which make the opportunity that much bigger.

For new startups, it would be much worse if companies respect customers, did not lie, did not mislead.

Most of this I’ve noticed with startups. I guess it’s the “move fast and break things” they all talk about (even when “things” include the law).
