This can be interpreted two ways.

1) There is a market in Twitter likes for ironic, snarky commentary on tech.

2) There is an actual market in tech for sincere, technologically progressive media content on life extension, Mars, faster COVID testing, fusion energy, etc.
The issue is that Twitter now is a negative-sum game. Condescend to the person who built the web browser to gain a momentary feeling of superiority, without accomplishing anything.

What if we set a different objective function, played a different game?
An important concept is that it's really not about tech companies. Those are just one means to an end. If the goal is privacy, that might be a tech company (privacy.com), an open source project (Signal), a coin (Zcash), or a nonprofit (EFF). Vehicles for the values.
