Yes, but adtech (Google and Facebook) is much, much worse. Many of the most talented programmers work ultimately toward adtech, not making society better.
I have no idea what you think I'm saying. I said that adtech wastes a lot of R&D talent to make our lives generally worse instead of better.
I don't need someone to tell me that other things exist in life because I've never been either a developer or a customer of either adtech or blockchain.
