Have you no honor or sense of duty then? What the hell is money anyways? Will your wife or husband really care if you make a dollar more or a million more? Will your true friends give a damn if you treat them to dinner every night and not be allowed to return the favor? What does your daughter mind if the book you read her before bed is engraved with gold? Does the extravagance of your son's wedding make any difference in his love for you? What a shallow life you must live if all you can think of is money. I'll grant, giving those dollars to the poor is a noble deed, but where did they come from, at what cost? Raise the taxes, encourage your representatives and senators to give much more to the poor and none of us have to pay for it with our souls.
- tyleraldrich 10y agoYou're talking about "honor and sense of duty" as if these people took 19 billion dollars to kill off 1 million innocent children or something. A single person didn't even make this decision. If you were the original creator of WhatsApp, no matter how "honorable" you are, you'll still get Ned Stark'd and everybody else will vote for $19 billion dollars over your silly "duty to the customers." Welcome to the real world.
- RestlessMind 10y ago19B is a HUGE number, which literally changes lives. If my spouse and kids find out that I earned that much by switching my stance from "allowing no ads" to "allowing ads", then they would totally support me. Not just them, every single person I know (friends, family, coworkers..) would support my decision. And I have a fairly large social circle. So in that sense, changing one's stance is completely "normal"; whereas refusing 19B just so that "you won't have to serve ads" seems "abnormal".
