That's fair, and I did think of that for a second. The fact remains that he was providing a service while calling his users dumb fucks for using the service; Effectively, he was peddling something that he clearly believed was against the interests of his users.
When the person constantly trying to convince 7 billion people that sharing every aspect of their lives on his platform is a good idea, it seems entirely relevant that he has demonstrated in the past that he will gladly market you something that he believes is damaging or dangerous or whatever. This is part why people are more inclined to think of the guy as a snake than many other tech leaders: while it's obviously in their interest to sell you their product, you can make a much more plausible case that Bezos or Jobs or Page or Brin actually believe in their pitch too.
