Hello everybody,

What is the company and corporation that is the object of your hate? What did/do they do to get that spot for you?

Mine is Facebook/Meta for their egregious data collection policies, psychological manipulation of its users, and more recently, them not seeding content.

Thanks in advance for your time! Have a good one!

I'll throw out a new one: Cricut vinyl cutters.

Machine works just dandy, software is, quite literally, the worst I've worked with in 30 years of IT. The company puts no money into the product, it's clearly only there to blast users with ads and give the machine basic, and hellish, functionality.

Here's the best part! I can't use my cutter unless I connect the software to the internet. It updates daily, yet ads nothing to functionality. Must be updating shit for sale.

Couple of years ago they made headline news by changing the terms so that users could only work on a couple of projects without paying for a subscription. A couple of projects could easily be part of one project. The howls of outrage got them to back off, damage done. I'll replace it with any other brand if that time comes.
