If we're going to be reducing to absurdity, Europe is a museum. No one is looking to it for the next big thing.

What an intellectually dishonest take comparing Candy Crush to US big tech. You should be embarrassed.

I wonder what's done more good for the world.

I mean, candy crush is the most downloaded mobile game ever, and it's income is measured in millions of dollars per DAY.

I don't much like it either, but it's popularity is difficult to deny.

By any objective measure, it's a successful company.

What a cynical interpretation. These companies have QoL for billions, directly and indirectly. You are just normalized to it now.

For some reason I don't see you blaming Cambridge Analytica - the actual company running the interference by exploiting APIs - for the interference itself.

Did the point go above your head? Because my point was that the EU companies mentioned also have earned money and been used by billions of people, no matter if the other commenter likes them or not.
