Doing something good in hopes of also making money seems okay, no?
Is there another model that has had similar success?
- seph-reed 6y agoYes. You do the thing for money and good, but instead of emphasizing the good you just say: "We're doing this mostly for money, but it also does some good and we like that too." Nobody with any sense is going to ding you for that.
- TeMPOraL 6y agoOr you can even say, "we're doing this good that these people want, and this is how these people have agreed to pay us for it". Which is also fine. It's honest.
- seph-reed 6y agoHonesty is rarely shiny. This seems kind of shiny.
- matz1 6y agoMaybe because it bring more money by emphasizing good. So if they doing it for money, it make sense to emphasizing good.
- atlgator 6y agoDon't confuse the nature of all business transactions, the exchange of a valuable good/service for another between parties, for the obvious emotional manipulation that is going on lately. As a society we cannot embrace this lack of transparency from companies and then complain that capitalism doesn't work.
