  • following its acquisition from Sony

    Has anything good EVER come from big company acquisitions AT ALL?

    Geocities -> acquired by Yahoo -> crap -> death

    Youtube -> acquired by Google -> ad crap

    Blogger -> acquired by Google -> crap

    Macromedia -> acquired by Adobe -> Monopoly crap

    Washington Post -> acquired by Bezos -> political crap

    MySQL -> Acquired by Oracle -> copyright crap

    Github -> acquired by Microsoft -> crap

    Reddit -> acquired by Conde Nast -> political crap

    Twitter -> acquired by Musk -> utter crap

    Every single time I see a cool startup get bought by a big player, all I can see is the service going to shit.
