People build a dam to make a reservoir so that a community has the water they need, then capitalists buy it from them and start raising the prices and letting the water grow toxic through lack of maintenance.
Social media started as a way for people to connect and enjoy being connected. It was damned from the moment the capitalists saw money in it. If you create something valuable, whether it's art or a social media site, you'd have to fight tooth and nail to avoid it becoming utterly disfigured and corrupted.
This is their process in everything. Max profit at any cost to the wellbeing of people. Profit before life, before love, before humanity. Capitalism as a system encourages them to do it, teaches them that as long as it's "just business", it doesn't matter what you do. Profit first, and fuck everyone and everything else. And they're not even happy! Rich assholes are miserable, but profit comes even before their own peace.
