Which big tech company is the most evil?
Which one is the least? -
google – facebook – apple/amzn – msft
googles free model is a curse for users-
Google >>>>> M$ / FB >>> Apple > Amazon
Google is too big, control 10x more data than any other, has dominance in smarthphones and basically runs the surface web with google.com, youtube and recaptcha. It’s terminal cancer almost everywhere: in phones and internet.
M$ with telemetry in win10 + office 365 inside companies. My last 2 jobs adopted full M$ products and it’s bad. Facebook (the site) is garbage, but this poopyholes has Instagram + Whatsapp – and a lot of normies use it to work.
Apple is shit, but only boomers and scrotes use it. It’s just dumb status symbol.
Amazon I can perfectly live without it.

-
I don’t know but thank you for not including Netflix. They don’t deserve to be among the big boys
-
They’re arguably just as bad though because they control what people see and consume and use their nexflix originals to push their globohomo cuck agenda
-
Yes, but it’s easy to just not watch it. Avoiding the rest of scroteMAN is a lot harder.
-
It’s easy to not use Facebook too
-
Yes, in many cases. But social pressure can be significant. And an electrician friend of mine gets on-call scheduling info via Facebook from his employer. Yes it’s insane and scrotebrained, but worth quitting over?
The dildo of Facebook is so far up the anus of society.

Do you really think people are so stupid they’ll just be tricked into thinking certain things because they see it on TV?
I click the "I don’t want this gay black scrote shit" button and now Netflix gives me my glorious anime and weird korean comedy action movies-
>Do you really think people are so stupid they’ll just be tricked into thinking certain things because they see it on TV?

Adequate kekage. Thank you. -
Yes the average person is literally and unironically that freaking scrotebrained and gullible.
-
You’re literally scrotebrained if you actually think Netflix isn’t shaping public opinion
-
They do. I’ve talked to heaps of people who watch sentimental "documentaries" and shape their views according to. All of them are Americans btw. Makes me really question the average American intelligence.

This. Netflix is overvalued and their salaries do not compare. There are low tier fortune 500 tech companies like oracle that pay 4x as much as Netflix. Netflix market share is declining and quite frankly never belong to be in the leagues of Google, Apple, Amazon and Microsogt in the first place .
-
Since when? The last time I checked (~2 years ago), they were paying about the same as Facebook and Google, which is a bit more than Apple, Amazon and Microsoft, and like 2x more than Oracle.
-
Actually Netflix pays more than any of them. Their policy is to pay at the top of your "personal market" meaning if you bring a competing offer they will match it.

Facebook because they contaminate the pictures posted on it, and because they’re an archival nightmare. It’s impossible to archive public Facebook and Instagram posts.

all of them

Netflix doesn’t belong on that list. Probably 1/100th of the combined revenue of all of them. Too small of a fish.

I feel the same way about Amazon. They’re just extremely huge and as a result other companies have a hard time competing
Can’t be mad that Bazos made a system where you can pretty much have anything in the world delivered to your door with the click of a button. I don’t hate the player and I respect the game
The others though are trash-
Don’t get me wrong, I still hate amazon avoid it completely
I only make 1-2 purchases on amazon a year, and only when I need something that isn’t available anywhere elseBUT, they are the only big tech company with a solid, upfront business model.
"We want money, pay us money".
Instead of
"We want money, come and get addicted to our dopamine machine where you can spend 8 hours a day falling into extreme depression, with sprinkled advertisement breaks".

amazon has basically no hand in twitch’s day to day operations and only serves as an arm in digital video you dunce
-
They still own Twitch and presumably fund it.
-
-
twitch is entirely opt in, you don’t need to watch other zoomers play video games
it’s not like you tube where a long search winds up with the answer being in some scrotebrains video instead of text-
(young) people don’t get sucked into twitch as much as facebook/instagram, but it’s still "making money by destroying mental health".

Manipulating search results to hide politics they don’t like. Playing morality police on youtube.

censorship and thought police (on their search engine, youtube, and in their company) and privacy invasion (gmail/docs/drive/etc).
-
Manipulating search results to hide politics they don’t like. Playing morality police on youtube.
Not even close to the main reason. They’ve intentionally restructured the web into a corporate tool to provide specific, curated content that earns ad revenue above all else. They manipulate their position as the foremost search engine to quash competitive services while forcing the results they deam most profitable (not relevant anymore) whilst making billions selling their data and telemetry. The internet is no longer a platform for knowledge, it’s a tool to brainwash people into being good little consumers and milking them for their data. Facebook and Google are almost entirely responsible for that shift.
[…]
Ranked in order of most evil to least evil:
Google
Facebook
Amazon
Microsoft
Apple
Least evil-
Actually gonna change my mind and move Apple above Amazon here because they’re responsible for creating the mobile web that enabled most of the data harvesting we have now.
-
You’re confusing Apple with Google. Google is largely responsible for the cancerous mobile web. Apple is more responsible for the "appification" of everything, which is equally harmful. Obviously Microsoft, Facebook, and Amazon jumped on those trains too, they were just a little late to the game.

Web 3.0 bullshit was inevitable. Just run a PiHole blocklist dude.

from most to least evil :

IBM is the least evil because they helped organize the holocaust.
-
Means nothing because the holocaust didn’t work
-
If you ever do helpdesk work for IBM you would change your mind after one day. I did tier 1 with them for about six months before being promoted to tier 2 (any precocious ten year old can do tier 1 work, but they prefer seniority, so I had to do a lot of extra work for that quick promotion). Even with the pay bump, I quit after three more months. It was a holocaust of micromanagement, clueless teams leads, useless standup meetings, and productivity reports. Not to mention that you’re basically under constant surveillance when you work from home. I couldn’t take a shit without three people asking why I was gone for more than 5 minutes. I eventually flipped out on one of the leads during a work from home day, and told him that he’s welcome to come over and wipe my ass for me any time. Was immediately fired, which is exactly what I was going for. Fuck that place, and fuck traditional tiered tech support environments in general.
-
helpdesk work is shit everywhere.
really all you can do is build a better product.
i’d say theres a conspiracy to build an intentionally shitty product for support money, but I’ve never seen any evidence of it.
t. automating your job away at IBM

-
IBM failed the tech game and now is mostly irrelevant
-
-
Just by the sheer harm they’re doing, Google and Facebook are tied for first place, with Microsoft and Amazon coming in a close second, and Apple in third place.
-
at least google has use cases and does cool shit like google collab and maintaining lots of open source projects. Facebooks entire business model is to just waste everybody’s freaking time, give them depression, steal their data and pretend that they don’t.
-
Google only contributes to and maintains open source projects that directly feed their bottom line. It’s better than giving nothing back, but it’s also a no-brainer to have millions of enthusiastic hobbyists improving your code for free. I think they are also just as dangerous when it comes to social conditioning as Facebook is. Microsoft and Apple are dangerous in some of the same ways, but they’re far more focused on getting people to rabidly consume managed devices and software than shaping the minds of their users. Amazon is just a straight up monstrosity that steadily obliterates small businesses and independent IT workers / firms. It would be a blessing for humanity if any of them crashed and burned, but I doubt it is going to happen any time soon, if at all.

none of them are evil, the true evil are the people contributing to their collection of data

yes, I think this is correct, but scrote all affect people (negatively) in their own way.-
It’s basically just ranking different piles of diarrhoea woke af on what colour you like the least and which ones you like the most. They’re all shit and all of them should be regulated till kingdom come at the very least.

Apple introduced smartphones to the masses, I think they deserve to be put over microsoft in general human suffering, maybe even equal to scrote
-
>Apple introduced smartphones to the masses
It was really BlackBerry and Motorola that got things rolling, but Apple did increase the popularity of smartphones by orders of magnitude, yeah. Google rode the wave next. Honestly, Android and iOS still have absolutely shit performance and usability compared to BlackBerry 10.

I can’t tell if you’re both genuinely this stupid, or simply doing a poor job at damage control. Microsoft is just as bad as Apple in every way (outside of the mobile space, but only due to failure), and have hurt independent IT workers and firms in the same ways Amazon has. They are involved in pushing the same pozzed culture on their employees too.
>just embrace the corporate cloud doooood it’s cool trust me what are you some kind of old man?
Yeah no. Not buying it.-

>Microsoft is just as bad as Apple in every way
No they’re not. They support millions of hardware combinations. I’m not a fan of Windows but until they create a walled garden ecosystem like Apple where you go exclusively where they lead you (lol no more x86 support guys, ARM going forward) they’re not even remotely in the same realm.
>Yeah no. Not buying it.

-
It’s not though. As a consumer, Microsoft is probably the least egregious and when you factor in privacy concerns which are terrible across the board who gives a fuck. Just run a PiHole block list dude. They’re not EEEing anymore. They just want to make money and it’s not some dumb competition where they’re sabotaging everyone else’s success in favor of their own proprietary services and products.

All the cloud providers are basically the same at this point. Who cares. Are you just some old boomer that hates the cloud? I’m not a fan of it either but cloud shit allows some very interesting mechanics that just weren’t possible on prem.
>Has active agreements with glow-in-the-dark alphabet soup
They all do. Use privacy specific providers if that’s what you want.
>Rabidly exploits open source projects
As I mentioned in my post I think they finally realize EEE is counterintuitive to profitability. Azure is their biggest division and Linux runs on the overwhelming majority of their deployments despite their attempts at sabotage over the years. It takes a long time to course correct a massive ship like Microsoft but look at the gaming division for example. They just want users and money.-
The biggest threat to Microsoft is getting some old timey geezer that doesn’t understand this like Satya Nadella does. You put someone like Don Mattick (former Xbox dude) in the CEO position and he can fuck it all up.
This goes for every company, Apple included. You get someone to replace Tim Cook who supports open source software and tinkering and you’ll see MacOS being sold like Windows is.
-
opensource doesn’t necessarily mean easy to tinker with. e.g. look at gnome.

facebook most
facebook, amazon, apple = google, microsoft -
Google at least open sources major components and their operating systems. If you make an active effort you can avoid their ecosystem and trackers.
Apple is all about control of their ecosystem and their file scanning sets a poor privacy precedent for such a "privacy conscious company" as they claim to be. I don’t like their hardware but if I did I’d probably be somewhat okay with them and actually using their ecosystem.
Facebook freaking blows. On a social level they have destroyed discourse and the way they have created a walled garden within the VR space is despicable.
Microsoft is cool for giving game devs creative and financial freedom in video games but their services and products suck. I’m always concerned about embrace extend and extinguish but overall I think they’ve finally realized that mentality is counterintuitive to profitability. -
Facebook, Amazon and Google are the most evil.
Apple and Microsoft are lesser evils but still evil – also at least they actually make products that aren’t just data-harvesting schemes, unlike scrote. -
amazon without a doubt

Some of their hands are in the pot, I’ll give you that, but these companies are all US-woke af, so it’s to be expected (this is the only country in the world that can accurately be termed Judeo-Christian, due to its long history of philosemitic and Masonic power in government and business).

Apple or Google
Probably Apple since they take as much as they can from open source and give back as little as they can in return-
>take as much as they can from open source and give back as little as they can in return
Microsoft is notorious for this.
-
-
Google – because not only they make most of the money from datamining, but they’re one of the most aggressively promoting globohomo corporations on earth
Facebook – exists only to datamine in any form and shape
Apple – for spawning the worst subset of the human species: the gadget-worshipping bugmen, the wanderlust tattooed e-thots and the queer hipsters that need a mac to watch gay porn
Amazon – for destroying local shops and replacing them with soulless global warehouses
Microsoft – for sneaking telemetry in each of their products and turning users into beta testers
-
Microsoft just worse than Google. ChromeOS somehow better than the classic Michaelsoft Binbows.
-
It’s Google or Facebook. No question.
-
>Which big tech company is the most evil?
Probably Google, but Amazon and Apple run them close with how they treat their workers.
>Which one is the least?
Probably Microsoft. Their hands have been tied for years by various governments to prevent them doing bad stuff, and people watch them like hawks, like IBM back when they were relevant – no such sanctions or attention have been placed on any of the others.
