You know, simple predictions are often correct. But ignore it (especially if your salary depends on it).
This is the only way to make a difference.
Are you suggesting people change companies every time they uncover their existing employer did something unethical/immoral?
I say this as someone whose employer in the past turned into a patent troll - as a new parent and during a downturn it was difficult to switch jobs for quite some time.
I'm not sure if I would have had a harder time believing that, or a harder time believing that Donald Trump of The Apprentice would become president of the United States in 2016.
But we can keep seeing things in what has been seen, and never debate the merits in a circular semantics game.
Do you see? I see what you did, but I guess you saw what someone else did, and boom we achieved faux transparency.
And here is wiki article because I totally see what you did with that wiki thing, like so:

That’s the kind of stuff Microsoft tried to lock people into before.
And we remember a world where the stranglehold by IE had to be ruthlessly shredded with open web standards just to get back to sanity.
- How great it feels to make dire predictions about the future. Only I can see how terrible M$'s latest move is going to be. The other sheeple can't. When I'm right I'll tell everyone I told them so.
- How satisfying it is to educate these younguns with their JS frameworks. They don't have my wisdom and experience so I'm doing my duty to society and HN by sharing with them. I will paste links to wikipedia wherever necessary. Like so -> https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Embrace,_extend,_and_extinguis...
- how smart I'll look by talking cynically. Every action that someone takes will be followed by a cynical analysis which assumes the worst intentions. Wide eyed optimists will look naive to any person lacking context.
