That said, fuck the "disruptors" who first "disrupted" the market (not just fuelled by a "genius" idea, but also the deep pockets of VC), abusing their monopolies to buy off or quash any budding competition, squeeze every last penny out of their ~~victims~~ customers and continuously enshittify their services for both individuals and businesses.
I don’t agree with this.
Apple disrupted mobile phones for the better.
Cable modems disrupted dial ups.
Residential Solar is disrupting power generation companies.
Starlink disrupted Hughesnet and overpriced rural terrestrial wireless.
One could argue Apple’s disruption in the mobile device sector was not for the greater good.
