You just say this because you work there and make your six figure salary.

I bet your attitude would be different if you didn't, as you'd be able to see how many anticompetitive behaviors Google does to make money (and pay your salary).

Some money is just cursed. Like when you are Meta and spreading depression and anxiety around the world, backed by thousands of studies and not caring.

Those companies deserve similar labelling as cigarettes do, with pictures of depressed people killing themselves or having their data mined for profit, shoved into an AI and making them jobless.

I think you are talking about a different issue. Also the six figure salary point is irrelevant, it's just a personal attack.

> it's just a personal attack

pointing out someone's stake in an argument does not constitute an ad hominem fallacy

It's not an ok thing to do here, regardless where it fits (or not) in the list of logical fallacies. There's a whole section in the site's guidelines about this under 'In comments'. The comment in question flunks just about all of these.

Still doesn't add anything useful to the conversation

It literally does. Whether someone has a stake in an argument does not affect whether it is true or false.
