All the big tech platforms have followed this pattern: Facebook, Amazon, TikTok, eBay, Google. They used to be good, then they got less good, now they’re awful for everyone but also the only game in town.

I'd call Google pretty darn good. I mean, it gets hit with spammers, but I don't think that it's especially bad at dealing with them -- any large search engine will be the target of the SEO crowd.

Amazon's not perfect -- I'd really rather than it not incessantly keep trying to get me to sign up for an Amazon Prime subscription, but I'm generally not all that unhappy with it. It isn't always the best retailer, but I haven't generally had a bad time using Amazon.

I haven't used eBay enough to have much of an opinion, and I've actively avoided Facebook and TikTok since they came out (though sometimes TikTok videos spill over elsewhere, and I do think that the fact that everything gets set to music seems to be really annoying).
