Disgusted sure, I am with you on that.

But "can still exist?" With the number of stories just on HN about social media dark patterns and recommendation engine rabbit-holes?

It's difficult to understand that as anything other than puffery.

I expect some people will do horrible things for personal gain, we all are egoists to a degree after all. What I have a hard time digesting is the irrationality of racism: why not pursue material instead of imaginary gain?

Racism is more crazy religion than ideology.
