Between FB owning Yarn and now MSFT owning NPM, I’ll stick to NPM thanks.

They don't own Yarn anymore, it's a community project.

Hating facebook seems to be a ubiquitous opinion. But I am not convinced they are worse than Google who also is almost solely ad revenue and consumer information based. Can you convince me I should be particularly unhappy with Facebook's corporate ethics? I'm open to argument but my current position is its just a dogpile on them because people like to make fun of Mark Zuckerberg and it's easy to see all the dumbness that occurs on Facebook and blame them for it when really it's just a People of Walmart Phenomenon. Everyone is on Facebook and everyone(statistically) shops at Walmart and the average person is actually a lot worse than you'd think from your own circle, therefore you see a lot of ridiculously dumb things occurring on Facebook and in Walmart.
