And what did you think they became "companies" for in the first place? If it was all about writing cool stuff and changing the world, anyone can just open source their code and feel the gratification of seeing a cool community build around it; and then someone else walk off with the added value.

I think you're confusing "ethics" with "making money bad". The problem is not making a profit, the question is HOW you make that profit. You can make money ethically even as a company. Wow, go figure.

Trusting companies was a no-no in the first place. You trust people you know, personally know. They at least have some relationship with you. Everything else is parasocial stockholm syndrome.

That's what I'm talking about, there is very not that much successful companies making money ethically. At one point or another they seems to make a decision that will trade ethics for money.

I meant "trusting" a company like Cloudflare to host my code/being my CDN.

Or for example when you take a flight with a Boeing plane, you're somewhat trusting the company that your plane will not lose a door...
