So its just violations of capitalism. Perhaps the problem isn't the tech.

Are you implying that capitalism is violating or being violated?

Yes

I don't think the poster was blaming tech for the problems that resulted. The intent seemed to be to point out that these ventures weren't so innovative as popular media would have had us believe until recently. Plenty of blame to go around for the companies' exploitative practices, for media that just repeats what's in the press release/ads uncritically, and for government regulators, as well.
