- Title is clickbait.
- People only upvote it because admin posted it, that is all.
- Web is not controlled by larger companies only, they might be the ones with most impact, true but they do not dictate what you should do. Face it, most people believe everything Microsoft, Google telling them no matter if it is right or wrong because they think big Corps have more credibility.
- We have dozens of articles like this already, why write another one … What have you done to make things better… Why not list organizations like EFF who fight for us or help them to get more attention.
- Saying things like - we cannot do much about it - without even trying to provide some solution is seriously the wrong way to motivate readers.
- Even domain name is based and redpilled.
- Echo chambering the same over and over again helps how … People will give up an feel helpless.
Here is what people could do
- Support small platforms like Lemmy, Fediverse in general.
- Support actual organization that fight for you, such as EFF.
- Instead of whining that web is miserable, I read this nonsense since 20+ years now, each year new clickbait … oh adblock destroys the web, oh Microsoft destroys the web, web is broken … Blah blah blah. Provide some serious solutions, because this is what will consume Brain power here. Some people actually did, created crypto and other systems that are not controlled by the big Corpos or the government.
My opinion on the submission and Tech + Web, not meant to offend but my little review on this.

I think they responded a lot to Facebook, the entire scandal and started some campaigns to sue Zuck and co.
