I think you’re telling us more about yourself than anything else.

I love my job. I make a great salary, there’s a clear path to promotion, and a never-ending supply of cold brew in the office. And even though my job requires me to commit sociopathic acts of evil that directly contribute to making the world a measurably worse place from Monday through Friday, five days a week, from morning to night, outside work, I’m actually a really good person.
Let me give you an example…

Punk is a mentality, not a corporate defined musical genre
Bleeding money expanding as fast as they could so nobody else got there first.
Huge capital investment to capture the market, and as you rightly put it, exploit with all of the aforementioned shit.
But that doesn’t mean they had to go down that route. Income via vaguely targeted advertising has been a standard practice for decades by newspapers, radio stations, and TV channels. They could have improved upon that old model without turning to the evil manipulators and spyware companies they are now.
Take, for example, DuckDuckGo, this is their model:
It is a myth that search engines need to track you to make money. The majority of our revenue is from private ads on our search engine. On most other search engines, ads are based on profiles compiled from your personal information, such as search, browsing, and purchase history. Since we don’t have that information per our Privacy Policy, search ads on DuckDuckGo are based on the search results page you’re viewing instead of being based on who other companies and their tracking algorithms assume you are as a person. For example, if you search for cars, we’ll show you ads about cars. We’ve even created a way to show localized ads while still keeping you completely anonymous.

No, just not as profitable.
They could have had guaranteed medium long term return, if they played nice. But now there’s backlash against both the brands and even the very concept of that form of social media.
So they’ve had high short term gain that could all come collapsing down relatively soon.
What? Surely this is Dizzee Rascal?

Lmfao. That’s the only time 9gag has ever managed to make me laugh!
People like you make me sick. This is no joking matter. We can clearly see her eyes are crossed out, which is exactly what happens when somebody dies. Please mark this as NSFW or I’ll be forced to report you to the relevant authorities.

Adjusted for inflation. Some games may be years old.
A couple has been taken into custody after climbing the very top of New York City’s Empire State Building, before getting engaged.
Russian nationals Angela Nikolau, 33, and Ivan Beerkus, 32, unfurled a large banner at the tip of the skyscraper’s needle that read: “When the power of love beats the love of power the world knows peace.”
It’s not cheaper or more efficient compared to large scale farming

This professor emeritus disagrees.
To begin with, it takes three acres of land for the industrial food system to feed the average American for a year, compared to maybe 5% of that area—or even much less—to feed a person for a year on a balanced diet of garden vegetables. So how is that three acres more efficient?
What did you end up choosing as your replacement?
I have a TV streaming device that needs replaced and I’ve struggled to decide what to replace it with.

Always has been
I get the impression from your comment you’re under the illusion that Labour are still a left wing party.
Labour have not been left wing since 1995, when they reworded clause 4 of their constitution and reformed into New Labour.
The UK hasn’t seen a left wing government since the end of the Callaghan ministry in 1979. We had Tories after that, New Labour in 1997, Tories from 2010 to 2024, and now more New Labour despite them going back to the old name of just Labour.
Third way politics uses the marketing and “niceness” of the left whilst implementing right wing policies. For example, the modern Labour party claim to support the NHS, while at the same time selling parts and data off to private companies.
Farmers are workers, workers lives improve when left wing parties rule. The only left wing parties with a viable chance at some form of power right now are The Green Party of England and Wales, the Scottish Greens, Plaid Cymru, and the SNP.
