I would assume HN users have some idea of facebooks business.. that's beside the point. Facebook and its products are growing regardless if you like them/know

that's beside the point. Facebook and its products are growing regardless if you like them/know about their business (as if its some sort of esoteric practice...?), to state otherwise isnt worth discussing much less posting about on here
- DougN7 7y agoMicrosoft was also hated for their business practices. I find what a company does to be a perfectly good reason to like or hate them, not that my opinion matters. But if you have enough people feeling a certain way it changes things. For what it’s worth I don’t like FB because of Zuck and his FU attitude towards his user’s privacy (he was quoted early on calling his users “dumb fucks” if I’m remembering correctly).
- Skunkleton 7y agoThe question was "where [does] the overwhelmingly negative FB sentiment on HN come from?" What does success have to do with popular opinion or morality? Has anyone here said facebook isn't successful?
- unforeseen9991 7y agoExactly, Casinos are successful in a business sense as well. These companies get most of their profit from addicting people and keeping them addicted. They have the same moral standing as a drug dealer.
