Hello everybody,

What is the company and corporation that is the object of your hate? What did/do they do to get that spot for you?

Mine is Facebook/Meta for their egregious data collection policies, psychological manipulation of its users, and more recently, them not seeding content.

Thanks in advance for your time! Have a good one!

    As a hard rule, it’s Nestle, but I fucking despise Elon Musk so much that I refuse to use anything he’s involved with.

    Hmmmm tough call.

    Whichever pharmaceutical company(s) is hiking the price on insulin. The patent was fucking free, the product costs pennies to produce and distribute. No, 99.97% of the cost cannot be “R&D” for an old, mass produced drug.

    Maybe also my old employer, which got laws passed to make them the only possible workers claim comp system in the state, then spun up a side business consulting for companies on how to use coding errors in medical billing to deny healthcare and compensation for people injured in their negligent and hazardous workplaces.

    I mean, that is a whole level of evil I couldn’t stoop to on my worst day.

      Hobby Lobby also has the world’s dumbest inventory system. That is: they don’t have one. They just ring up whatever price is on the product.

      It must be a fucking nightmare keeping the place stocked.

      fake Christian bullshit.

      With utmost sincerity, God bless you for making this distinction. People who actually paid attention to Jesus’ words have got your back, friend. ❤️

      I’m so incensed at these corporations spouting “Christian values” while they treat their fellow humans like disposable trash. More Christians need to be calling out this bullshit instead of siding with it.

      The bad guys win when they wear the mask of belief and turn us against each other, and we say nothing.

    Yandex.

    In Russia, Yandex is, like, everywhere, and it is a massive evil.

    • Search, maps, mail, browser, cloud, and everything else Google offers? Check.
    • Music, films? Uh-huh.
    • Taxi and food delivery? Gotcha.
    • Tickets to anything from a bus or a train to a concert venue? Yes.
    • Four marketplaces and one freelance platform? All Yandex.
    • Tax processing? Yes!
    • Home assistant? Yep.

    It’s increasingly hard to avoid, and it is absolutely everywhere. Its use can be mandated by your workplace and in various state institutions, and for the rest, it has acquired so much of everything that going Yandex-free in Russia is one step away from going Amish. It’s way way worse and more incidious than Google could ever hope for.

    That’s a really hard question. I immediately wanna jump out and yell NVIDIA, Apple, Meta, etc. because of their incredibly shitty anti-consumer and predatory practices but then I’m reminded seemingly “good” companies are just as bad if not worse, like Valve making billions by turning children into gambling addicts. So, I guess all of them?

    I prefer to focus on things I like. I mean, I hate Facebook too. I have an account because I admin my work page but I don’t use it personally. But what I like are hikes and campfires and driving on terrible almost impassible dirt and rock roads/trails in the mountains.

    Nestle. Other big corporations may steal my data and manipulate their users, but nestle deprives people of the basic right of being able to drink.

    Hard to top Meta right now. Propaganda enables all the other bullshit from the likes of Nestle, fossil fuel companies, certain car makers, surveillance companies etc., and people don’t even get that Facebook and Instagram are even an issue beyond “social media is inherently bad”-sentiments (in contrast to x/twitter, which saw a large exodus recently).

    Though if I’m honest, it’s not just social media - even “respectable” print and tv publications have been pushing the “brown people are violent criminals”-narrative, which is pretty much entirely a fabrication according to statistics (at least here in Germany).

      I’d love to see a source on that to have something to send to xenophobes
