Companies do care about being associated with negative PR, though.
Plus, how effective is the advertising in motivating purchase versus sowing seeds of discontent?
It has utility, yes, but what the majority seem to consider, "not good".
- pbhjpbhj 9y agoPure Capitalists, whose values most of the larger companies are run under, care only about the profit. Sometimes negative PR brings additional profit, there is no remorse in such cases. Facebook's controlling minds don't care about you, they care about if there's reduction in profit [or profit generating ability].
- kolbe 9y agoYou don't have to abstract this too much. Facebook's "controlling minds" are just one mind: Mark's. Facebook does what Zuckerberg wants it to do. And if he doesn't want to maximize profit, he doesn't have to.
- squarefoot 9y agoIn todays world there's no entity which would leave full control in a single person's hands, neither Facebook nor the US or any other non prehistoric government, although for obvious reasons the public needs to be given a recognizable figure which can be turned into a scapegoat when needed. Should Zuckerberg piss off his top investors, he would be sacked in no time.
