Agreed. This whole "we got so big chasing crazy growth that making us responsible for cleaning up our own mess would make us lose money" argument is very tiresome and one that I can't see holding any water outside of tech.

Exactly. There's an exclusive mindset in tech that it's okay to automate human problems and then just say there's nothing they can do when automation isn't adequate. Other businesses have huge percentages of their workforce tackling problems that tech companies just say they're not responsible for, like content moderation, customer service, etc.
