Unpopular Opinion
Welcome to the Unpopular Opinion community!
How voting works:
Vote the opposite of the norm.
If you agree that the opinion is unpopular give it an arrow up. If it's something that's widely accepted, give it an arrow down.
Guidelines:
Tag your post, if possible (not required)
- If your post is a "General" unpopular opinion, start the subject with [GENERAL].
- If it is a Lemmy-specific unpopular opinion, start it with [LEMMY].
Rules:
1. NO POLITICS
Politics is everywhere. Let's make this about [general] and [lemmy] - specific topics, and keep politics out of it.
2. Be civil.
Disagreements happen, but that doesn’t provide the right to personally attack others. No racism/sexism/bigotry. Please also refrain from gatekeeping others' opinions.
3. No bots, spam or self-promotion.
Only approved bots, which follow the guidelines for bots set by the instance, are allowed.
4. Shitposts and memes are allowed but...
Only until they prove to be a problem. They can and will be removed at moderator discretion.
5. No trolling.
This shouldn't need an explanation. If your post or comment is made just to get a rise with no real value, it will be removed. You do this too often, you will get a vacation to touch grass, away from this community for 1 or more days. Repeat offenses will result in a perma-ban.
Instance-wide rules always apply. https://legal.lemmy.world/tos/

I'm sorry but did you miss "for no reason other than making yourself richer"? I'm mostly focusing on cases where a company is not struggling to stay afloat, but are in good shape.
Also, I don't feel like this is a good faith argument, not from your fault, mind you, so I don't think it is productive to continue this shouting match. I hope you understand my point, even if you disagree with it, but I, hopefully, have a decent grasp of where you are coming from.
Find me any CEO who has made any decision other than quitting their job and getting another, solely for the benefit of making themselves richer.
That has never happened.
I don't understand your point because your point necessarily requires company leadership to be mustache-twirling villains and they're just people.
Elon Musk exists
Elon musk genuinely believes the dumb shit he does is smart.
