People have always hated the tech industry. They've been throwing tomatoes at google buses in the mission for 10+ years.
Facebook alone will damn us all.
The article lists some good causes, and they are fairly recent (Juicero was where I started to see real mockery of Silicon Valley startups). There are others that the author does not list, perhaps out of discretion:
* Tech profits concentrated in one geographic region have contributed to a high cost of living that makes life very hard for non-tech workers in the area, fostering resentment
* A lot of tech companies have ad- and engagement- based business models that are... not necessary healthy for their users, or for society
* Predatory data harvesting has led to a justified mistrust of new products and services
* New technology has always "disrupted" careers (farewell, ETAOIN SHRDLU), but advances in AI are threatening to do so in a way that most people thought would not be possible in their working lifetime, with these changes happening in the timescale between the time where you enroll in a particular major and graduate to an obsolete profession.
Startups did a really job of branding themselves as “not corporate.” It’s like Trump—claim to be populist and revolutionary but secretly replicate all the self-serving rubbish practices of the establishment you say you are fighting.
