I go to bakery and buy bread. They have more money, i have more bread.

Good for bakery, good for me. I don't understand what's "bad" for me?

When they make the bread worse and raise prices to increase their profit margin. And show some ads to make extra profit. And start to pester you with more service tiers and subscriptions before they give you the bread because they'll be able to scam some people into giving them another revenue stream...

So I have to imagine the bad part? Those things haven't happened.
