1. Making sure they are the only industry that wins

2. Dark pattern subscriptions that are very difficult to cancel

3. Garbage customer support, even for paying customers

4. Rampant privacy violations

5. No loyalty to employees even in rich times (e.g. MSFT asking 25% of employees to leave when they are absolutely printing money)

6. Tax avoidance at all costs, so there is no economic benefit to a data center in your location.

7. A faux moral high ground that they'll abandon the second they need to ingratiate themselves to corrupt politicians or need to pollute more for AI.

8. Only shareholders matter. Forget customers, communities, or employees.

It is an unmistakable stench that teaches people that tech doesn't value them at all beyond a monthly subscription.

I've worked in tech my whole career, and our industry sucks ass. It is only getting worse too.
