That's a crap analogy and you know it. Email started as a federated, open system. This Amazon is closed, for profit.
Everyone there is part of the problem and excuses their behavior with bullshit like "I'm only working on a small percentage of the exploitation". Is everyone so bad a maths now you've forgotten that 10 tenths makes a one?
- gameman144 6y agoThat's definitely one world view, that people are responsible for how people use the things they create. Nothing wrong with it. I'd hold a different world view, in which individuals who have good intentions shouldn't be blamed for their work getting bastardized or leveraged in unethical ways. In this case, it seems totally reasonable that an engineer on this project would assume that their work would reward efficiency (which it does), and not be gamed to reward exploitation (which it apparently also does). Different strokes for different folks, I guess.
