These companies are maximizing their margins at our expense.

That is true, but the amount of money these platforms are making is mind bogglingly high, too. It's just that they decided that they will use low-cost automated methods in order to maximize margins. And as long as we all accept this, it's a good decision: more money!

But it is absolutely possible to do these things right, it just costs more.
