I hear you on that. It seems like there's room for it, but it's just covered in this gross amorphous hyper-capitalist structure. I am inspired by DeepMind giving away the AlphaFold protein structure database for free. That was awesome! Or developing and giving away anonymous, decentralized, Bluetooth-based proximity detection for COVID tracking. That's freaking awesome! YouTube too is awesome, and it's profitable, but they slowly make insane, gross decisions to chase 30% YoY growth. 1.5 hour ads, double ads, cutting creator payments, etc. Just make it sustainable! Repeat ad nauseum across the business units. It's upsetting.

    Do you feel you are turning away from tech as a result? I have pushed the other way recently and started to enjoy stepping away, regaining control of privacy an adjusting to suit my needs.
