Yep, and I don't disagree with you. We just somehow forgot about what bad, not shitty capitalists are. And that we can not trust them, but can somehow rely on their consistency.

'We'd look into your shit as it passes by' is a powerful statement that'd hurt their profits a lot, especially with corporates. That's why MS's Copilot is a risky gamble even with their leverage. They don't want it at all, and these customers overshadow any of us easily.

Their scale is also why they won't give a damn unless you violate something serious or really piss some nintendo. Small clients, millions of them, aren't overseen by people, just 'bots' that can flag you for a personal review if you leave the margins and patterns of their average userbase, or if they have someone's takedown demand. As we can't dismantle it just now, it's cool we can use it to further some anticap\anticenzorship goals.
