    I agree, good comment. There is so much big tech in foss/oss community, like you gave example with repos and with react. People working for free for big tech. Getting something to put in their CV or just bootlickers.

    Every open source or foss from company is in company interest, it will never be in community interest.

    It's not! The meme bad because it looks like it's gloryifing startups I agree on that. But it's meant to start a discussion about realtionship between big tech and FOSS, I'm not aginst FOSS at all. I am aginst big tech using it and FOSS community selling that story as good when in reality it isn't good and is just pure exploitation of FOSS and people active in FOSS community.

    Just to clarify, this post is not meant to glorify startups! Startups also have CEO and it's same as first line in the meme.

    This post is meant to start a discussion and to highlight the effects big tech having on FOSS.

    It's aginst big tech not aginst FOSS!

    I actually like FOSS alot, I don't want big tech taking it over and dictating how things should be done.

    I don't want FOSS helping out google, meta, microsoft etc. FOSS is meant for society and people not for companies to make more profit and in process of that destroying society and exploiting people.

    EDIT: Just to add, I'm aginst using term open source which is taken over by comapnies and companies use it to wash themself.
