I mean, I don't think that was the intention. I'm sure Page and Brin really wanted to be different when they started. But as a company grows, the vision of the founders is excised and replaced with the same shit found in all large corporations.

To be clear, I don't think Google or any other large company is evil. It's just the way things turn on, how the incentives are structured.

I think that’s a great way to put it. Each decision to grow the business is not necessarily bad or evil. As google has grown and acquired market share they leveraged that to spur more growth and market share. They act in their own best interest. It’s not necessarily evil, but selfish motives and evil sometimes look a lot alike.
