People hate the tech industry because it has negative effects on their lives, and these effects are deliberate rather than incidental.

There are, of course, some good people/companies/projects in the tech industry, but think about the overall impression of the industry as a whole: careless and malevolent.

The tech industry and its figureheads have

- Lied consistently about their capabilities

- Brazenly flouted the law

- Shoved ads and planned obsolescence and surveillance into everything

- Increased prices again and again

- Supported oppressive governments and war crimes

- Gleefully attempted to remove many people's livelihoods

- Predicted that they would end the world, and then doubled down on the same path

- Deployed bots everywhere, polluting online communities

- Pushed technology with the primary aim of CSAM or deepfake pornography

I could keep listing, and again, this isn't every single person in the tech industry. But if you group them all together, you have to take the bad with the good, and there's a lot of bad.

Frankly, the real question is why don't more people hate the tech industry?
