Extract as much value as possible. Deliver as little value to your customers as possible. Treat them as second layer of product.
Human needs are not the goal.

Yep, nobody ever tried to exploit their fellow humans until capitalism was adopted in the 18th century. The other economic systems that existed parallel to capitalism were also exploitation-free.

It is weird when you criticize one thing and people start saying shit like this, as if your critique of the one thing, is an endorsement of everything else.

I never suggested otherwise. However capitalism’s core motivator is exploitation.
It is in no way wrong to suggest we move away from such a model, or criticize such a model.

The point isn’t that capitalism is worse, but that it isn’t any better. Despite all the fancy clothes and powdered wigs there is still a class oppressing another class except now the oppressors enjoy far fewer violent deaths.
