Downvoted for sane-washing meta glasses.
I also disagree with your other takes, mainly boiling down to the insinuation that competence and intelligence is how capitalists make money in a system that's rigged in their favor...
No, they make money because they have enough people vendor-locked that they can convince advertisers to pay them to further enshittify their platforms, and that gives investors the confidence they need to keep writing blank checks.
Down voted for wash-washing any point being made.
You can't just declare something washing and therefore bankruptcy, you have to explain your reasoning why.
Yes but we're not discussing a binary system of capitalist and "not-capitalists" we're discussing a single company. And while they have not outcompeted their rivals on the basis of serving the best product for their users, or making the world better, they have outcompeted their rivals at the actually game and ruleset available to them, all in the face of others who are playing equally soullessly.
