I don’t know how all these tech companies keep making obviously stupid and immoral decisions like this.
“We need someone to process our emails.”
“Oh well we have two options. This one costs a hundredth of a cent less per email, but they also run their machines on the blood of children and they ritualistically sacrifice minorities as part of their business model.”
“Perfect!”

I think you answered your own question. To expect them to do anything other than what will increase their wealth is naïve. Anything that seemed like a “moral” thing that they did in the past simply happened to be more convenient.

Yeah, I suppose so. It just sucks that it seems like every single company is run by a monster.

Because companies have a legal responsibility to increase value to shareholders; morals don’t enter into it.

Only people who are okay with being monsters are allowed to take and keep those roles. That’s capitalism, baby.
