Who would you rather be?

Apple, Google, or Meta?

Apple obviously. They protect their users and still have a generally positive social vibe.

Meta and Google are largely only spoken of in negative light socially, and constantly castigated for their "user hostile" behavior.

But what is the ultimate irony here?

Apple only exists for people with money. It's a pay-to-play enterprise, and only a small sliver of the global population can afford to be part of it.

Google and Meta welcome everyone, and give everyone access to the same services and features (by and large).

I think there are a lot of people, who if they truly stepped back and understood this whole picture, would be left in a tornado of a soul search. How could the free companies with no bias towards wealth possibly end up as the bad guys?
