Companies / Apps I´ve Blacklisted

Throughout my life I have (i) contacted (e.g., as job seeker, employee, to propose collaborations) and worked for many companies, as well as (ii) used and researched about many application softwares.

Today I´m making public the list of companies / apps I have highly criticized. This blog aims to

(a) warn people for possible (hopefully not) negative experiences they might have if they ever contact / use those companies / apps.

(b) criticize things I care about (the sooner one challenges the status quo, the sooner it changes for the better).

I´m not telling the specific reason(s) why, based on my previous experience, I´m not recommending each company or app listed below, but feel free to get in touch if you wanna hear my story.

Final Note

Feeding ‘big’ companie$ when there are effective and less wealthy alternatives, will jeopardize economy and increase social inequality. Making the richest wealthier is not sustainable! Thats why I wrote Big Tech Alternatives.
