I'm not equating the harms, or attempting to distract from this serious issue. But, if we feel clear outrage about another industry, we should consider applying the same standards to our own. Most everyone who works in opioid marketing probably thinks they are a good person too.

> we The fallacy in your comment isn't that you're wrong about addictions, it's that you're assuming two population samples are the same: 'HN users who complain about drug addiction' and 'HN users who create addictive technology'. Those are two different values of 'we'. (I worry about being in the latter group. HN is pretty addictive.)
