I know this is HN and thus this will need to repeated until the end of time but not everyone is a money hungry asshole who places their personal profit above everything else. “The people aware enough to hold on to their brain and do something with it in their time available” understand there are significantly better things to do with one’s life, like having a little empathy and experiencing what other people have to offer instead of talking about them like braindead cattle.
Yes and... most of the countries in the world give more power to those who are able to amass greater personal profit.
Certainly the US.
Which means that even if you don't chase profit, you end up living in a world largely defined by those who did.
Or, as the original article failed to note about EA: in the modern world one needs to be a profit-seeking asshole to change anything.
