Is there any company more scummy than Google?
Oracle?
Someone needs to compile an annual league table of the scummiest companies and their practices for that year.
Chiquita and Nestlé come to mind. Within tech industry, I'd say Amazon and probably Microsoft are worse as well, and there's probably a ton of potentially even worse companies lurking in the shadows outside the top of the economic food chain.
Id actually say Meta is the scummiest tech company thinking about it now.
Adobe sucks pretty hard as well.
I don't know man. There's a lot shittier business practices out there than paying to be the default search engine - which is laughably easy to change on any browser. Like marketplaces and services that pay to be exclusive sources of content and then use the fact that they're the only source for most content to force extortionate deals on content creators and enshitify every aspect of the end user experience. Just to name one.
Did you know that paying to be default search engine isn't the only business practice that Google does.
Google has enshitified every single one of its products or deprecated it and then released an inferior replacement.
