Strongly disagree. Facebook in particular. I'm with you on Amazon, and I founded a search engine because of my ethical beef with Google and general dissatisfaction with their product, their data collection is unethical and their search leaves a lot to be desired particularly for developers.

Sure, but developers and tech savy people make up a very small percentage of the userbase. Most people don't care.

If you go on the metric of how many people use the products these companies provide versus the drawbacks of using those services, both Facbook and Google are very valuable.

Yet everyone here jumps of joy using stacks developed with Facebook money like React.
