> Nah, this time it's "capitalism bad! Evil VCs want to make a profit on the money the invested.

Yes, this is correct, but your sarcasm is misdirection.

The criticism is how they are attempting to "make a profit". With callousness and indifference. Dark patterns and exploitation. Growth at any and all cost.

What is the value in a rhetorical victory by ignoring the message of "how" to make it about "what"?

Who cares? Sounds like an opportunity to make some money by providing a less shit alternative.
