remember when internet companies were cool and benevolent?

No? Because despite what they said they were still companies. All those words about not being evil, etc, etc, etc were just PR, nothing else.

In the early days of the internet a lot of these companies were entirely made of nerds who just wanted to create cool shit.

But as they got bigger they all went the same way.
