I dislike Zuckerberg more and more everyday. What a piece of work that guy is, hiding the reality of FB behind his self-righteous mission of connecting the world while selling you to advertisers and fragmenting your attention and happiness potential.
- smt88 9y agoI hardly think he's hiding it. He's just succeeded in creating a product so addictive that people are willing to sacrifice a lot in order to use it.
- userbinator 9y agoIndeed, he doesn't really hide it; as his famous quote goes, "They 'trust me'. Dumb fucks."
- deschainz 9y agoTrue, I just meant that he doesn't really acknowledge the harm that it does. Oh well, at least people are becoming more aware of it.
- chiefofgxbxl 9y agoI guess it's sort of like a fast-food restaurant owner telling the customers that the food isn't healthy. What's the point? Everyone probably already knows that, and they'll eat it anyway (for various reasons). Facebook (and other social media sites) is like the digital version of a fast-food restaurant. And luckily for them they have 2 billion users eating it, so there is a lot of peer pressure on others who'd rather not eat to go there anyway because their friends are there.
- dr1337 9y agoI guess a drug dealer also can justify their line of work by saying that they are merely providing the means for a customer to obtain something that they like.
