Following Google’s restructure as a subsidiary of Alphabet, “Don’t be evil” was removed as their motto in 2018.
They were literally like, “Fuck that. Let’s do evil.”
Good: Less money now, maybe better long term reputation and more sustainable business.
Evil: More money now, better quarterly report this quarter. Who gives a fuck about the long term.
The choice was obvious from the start. Sigh...
Pure Evil: more money now, and all the money later from crushing competition and taking over the government
Money sucks.
People suck.
Removing money doesn't stop people from being assholes.
Then again, greed and power definitely corrupts people. But if you mean all people have that potential, then yea.
Ironically it aligned pretty closely with changing their decision to not engage in this very behavior in China.
