Capitalists gonna exploit free labor, burn down good will, and jump ship when they run aground. Some day we may learn to stop giving corpos free resources in exchange for their benevolence. Because they haven't any. They're leeches. They monetized the internet, as they do everything, and they don't care about the things they create or the people that come to rely on them. Yeah he's a low-rent Elon but Steve isn't gonna be moved by any of this protesting any more than the Emerald Prince is over Twitter. It doesn't matter if it's a losing battle for him. He'll get his cut and the rest can burn.
