I agree, this is just an inexcusable reasoning that is essentially flawed. In all essence, the ads, the intrusive popups, the 1000 cookies which you have to accept and giving money to those poor billionaires is implied to be as the right thing to do - which is not.

Justifications like this is why we still have shit software lying about the web and nothing is done about it. The companies dont care about the people, and they don't care about op. Being a suckup for a corpo will get you nowhere - in fact saying that they're the best, is just a false narrative.

In the end that statement is essentially an oxymoron. Op is trying to justify the oppressive strategies of corpoware, while not realising that they already have info about op's stepmother's maiden name.
