All the evidence in the world that corporations are greedy doesn't detract from the fact the end users are also greedy.

It's all greed, all the ways down.

I also can't read the article, not going to make an account, and I stand by not backdooring.

What's wrong with that? Capitalism is about everyone being as greedy as possible. If you aren't greedy while your adversary is greedy, you give up everything you have.

    The wrong part is fooling yourself that you are above those principles while actively devoting all your energy too them.

    And I'm not talking food, water, medicine here. I'm talking entertainment and general internet stuff.

      If you aren't being maximally greedy in all things, including entertainment and general internet stuff, you aren't doing capitalism right.

      The current global power imbalance was shaped to a large part by us not being greedy while the rich people were being greedy. It only resulted in them owning all of our stuff. It's about time we tried to own their stuff, to restore balance.

      Seems like people who try to argue that Capitalism creates greed are almost always just narcissistic looking for something to blame their greediness on.
