    It’s almost as if tech companies were entirely propped up by venture capital firms and didn’t have to be profitable or sustainable and focused entirely on growth and now that interest rates have gone up and VC funding has shrunk, a lot of them actually have to cut costs and justify themselves in order to get funding.

    It’s kind of nice to see, to be honest and I hope it continues. I’m kind of sick of these companies and these tech bro dipshits unleashing their untested products on society willy nilly.

      I sure hope it’ll make people realise how these business are not on their side.

      Many people are giving everything to them because “this is Google and this is safe”. Well it might be safe but the company doesn’t care about you or your experience. Not anymore at least.
