I think this repartee encapsulates a huge frustration with the tech sector:
> op (as legacy business): BAU
> you (as tech): disrupt! disrupt! disrupt!
> me: no thank you; that's not necessary
> you (as tech): stop being mean!
Not wanting your "disruption" is not being un-nice. Your disruption was not asked for in the first place. Forcing it (Uber, Doge, et. al.) on marketplaces, often illegally, and vacuuming it up the income ladder to the already-wealthy IS the "not nice" thing.
Well that wasn’t very nice.
Do you have anything to say other than, “I don’t need to hear what you have to say”?

Ah, I think I understand - this isn't about me... this is about a whole lot more than me.
You just see me as a target to displace that onto. I'm the representative for what you believe is wrong with tech.
