I mean, congrats? Kind of irrelevant to the discussion here, then.

"Oligarchy becomes smaller and more powerful" - article

"Good thing they don't get my money via direct means" - you

    Lol, short of going out and killing these bastards there isn't much else I can do other than to stop supporting these services. I have to hope if enough folks like me stop using these services they will fail. There is a point where it only takes one straw to break the camels back.

    That's basing your imagination that we're a meritocracy. There's meaning behind the saying "failing upwards". I don't know how to counteract it either, but their success comes from failure. Let alone the Island stuff.

    What are you even talking about? I didn't say shit about meritocracy or failing upwards. I'm talking about not supporting those services and platforms that support evil.

    Right, and I'm trying to explain to you that it's not what they base their success on. I know you mean well, but we're not a meritocracy and they do fail upwards.

    No they're capitalists. They base their success off of money. No users or even less users, means less money.

    Look at all the bad news coming out about Tesla and Musk all together, and his wealth increased from like 300bil to 700bil :/

    His bubble will pop eventually too. He can't stay inflated forever. He's completely propped up by lies and schemes.

    Wish I shared your optimism. Guy is a moron propped up by the US government who's on the Epstein Files and begged to party on the island on Xmas....which means he's about to become a trillionaire....well at least this was a good way to find out that my android autocorrect doesn't even have that word in the vocabulary.
