    Greed applies to all of these companies let’s be honest.

      Greed could encompass most of the 7 sins.

      Lust - Greed for sex

      Sloth - Greed for relaxation

      Gluttony - Greed for food

      Envy - Greed of others stuff

      The only two that don’t really fit under greed is pride and wrath

          I was gonna put pride in there as greed for power but pride comes in many forms.

          As for wrath I don’t see it as a greedy thing it’s something that is provoked. Evoked I should say.

        Greed, the character from FMAB, has an interesting take on this concept. He extends the concept to call the idea of the heroes winning completely (i.e. they get their bodies back, defeat the bad guys, no one dies) to be a form of greed, and the idea of greed is independent of morality.

        You could call this unhelpful broadening of the concept of greed, but I think it’s an interesting reframing of something people usually think of very negatively.

        Can’t the same be said about Lust?

          Greed is lust for money

          I’ve always seen greed as wanting more of something you already have, while lust is wanting something you don’t have to begin with. Gluttony would be similar to greed, but with more of a focus on using then obtaining.

      That’s kind of companies work. The problem is when the company becomes the industry standard.

      Basically go for smaller companies and generic brand products. They are better sometimes anyway.
