> Certainly less evil than Exxon Mobil, Microsoft, Saudi Aramco, Meta, JPMorgan Chase, UnitedHealth, Coca-Cola, Oracle, Palantir, Goldman Sachs, LVMH, McDonalds, etc.

Certainly… according to who? I think some of these companies are, certainly, less evil than Google

> McDonalds

McDonalds should start allowing full 50% off order discounts in exchange for customers opting-in to receiving custom-printed wrappers with hyperpersonalized advertising printed on-demand just for them.

Could they afford to do it? IDK, advertising is effective and seems like a big business.

I think with their McDonalds App discounts for more normal pricing (last I checked), they're half way there?

		My Facebook account with no connections was created exclusively to log in for the 20% discount. Facebook is probably getting more out of this arrangement than McDonalds. I do like that McDonalds employees call me Valued Customer instead of the Facebook Name, after enabling one of the app privacy settings.

For example, Oracle does evil to its customers and partners and competitors. But Google does evil to every human who uses their products. In my book that’s much worse.

		`> to every human who uses the internet` FTFY Google has a lot of control over the internet. They also track and profile people even if they never created a Google account. It's one thing to do that to people who are users, it's another thing to secretly turn people into users
