“Techbro” is a specific name for a subsection of the tech population who have become complete douche canoes (much like the middle and right people in the image). The crypto/AI/whatever people. These people are mostly male.
All kinds of awesome people work in tech, but they are not considered “tech bro”, just cool tech people.
Oh yeah, the “information wants to be free” thing shouldn’t be attached to techbros. Totally agreed. I think the meme is meant to show a devolution from a tech activist into techbro, but obviously not everyone followed that pipeline. I used to be in the “information wants to be free” and privacy-focused camp 10 years ago and I still am. There will be plenty of us.

I personally haven’t seen that either, but that’s what the meme says. Not necessarily that I think happens often

I know. You’re talking to me like I made the meme, but I didn’t. Nor do I think that this pipeline is really common
