Remember, just a few years ago when the latestagecapitalism sub was created and everybody was like ha ha you lefties, and now every single big corporation is self immolating in 2023… good times!
The overwhelming majority of people simply do not care. So no, they're not self-immolating. They understand that people don't give two shits.
I think that's overstating it a smidge. I don't see there being much impact for many of these companies beyond schadenfreude for those of us watching. Twitter's going to die, but since Musk obviously doesn't care it takes a lot of the satisfaction from it. Most of these others - I doubt it's more than a blip.
Not that I don't agree with and cheer for your overall point. I just don't think most of this is moving the needle in any direction.
Late stage capitalism is a myth.
