This aren’t great example are they?

Amazon is famous for being a terrible company to work for, on the logistics side.

Airbnb has caused all sorts of social problems.

Uber results in people working for peanuts and has circumvented labour laws.

I think there are some startups that have created large scale value without doing something malevolent, but not those ones.

Things like Linear. Good tool for software dev, no one harmed.
