"How about the thousands of jobs they also created ?" -> This was true in the past with big corporations,huge number of jobs were also created. But, now a days, even this is not true. Eg. Amazon Warehouse Automation, Automation in industries, etc. People are losing their jobs. In developing countries, as simple jobs are getting replaced by machines, many lower class are finding it even difficult to survive. The big enterprises are doing much more harm than the value they are creating. And yet I see people dreaming of making it big just because of our greed. What is good about big?

you need to think about this more. If at one end, some industries are getting automated due to technological advancements, it is also creating a new set of industry where you need to hire. Sure if there aren't enough warehouse jobs, people will find something they can fit in. Like I said, don't look at it as a zero sum game.
Definetly you should think more about this. I live in Brazil, we are a developing country, we are implementing a lot of automation - particularly in our biggest business, agriculture - and our unemployment rate is one of the lowest in the planet right now.
