    Large corporations are, indeed, soulless and thankless. No amount of their pandering to the masses with charity campaigns and outreach programs ever end without them making money.

    Knowing this, I prefer to take everything at face value. If I start concerning myself with the ulterior motives of these people that don’t believe in class equality, I will very quickly want to put a lightbulb in my mouth.

    For those familiar, Destiny 2 (a video game by Bungie, the originators of the Halo franchise) has come under scrutiny lately due to mass layoffs, and the following PR nightmare it has turned into. With every day that passes, we learn more thanks to the diligent work of journalists doing their job.

    I appreciate knowing to help me make informed decisions about who I fiscally support, but I will spend my money on entertainment based on the value it gives me. Not the morals I’m told I should have by people bickering on the internet, and content creators that use these situations as clickbait.

    And that all goes for any corp, I’m just largely invested in this one example. I am aware that Nestle is garbage ass company, but due to me not existing in their world view, I will buy a KitKat when I want one, thanks.

      A corporation by its very nature exists solely as a vehicle to make profit. It cannot have morals or compassion. Public companies especially so need to grow endlessly and any money spent must have a return in some way
