- riversflow 5y agoI mean, it arguably drives the out-of-control materialism that is currently devastating the environment. Not sure it’s hyperbole.
- redis_mlc 5y ago> I mean, it arguably drives the out-of-control materialism that is currently devastating the environment. No, that's Bitcoin mining.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoYeah I'm no fan of it either, but i don't think its responsible for materialism in our society, thats been around much longer than adtech.
- formerly_proven 5y agoA third of HN works for adtech.
- nathias 5y agoIt's the biggest problem the online world faces? It's structurally unsound and it's making itself into the foundations of the future world in general.
- zibzab 5y agoMaybe we are among the few people who understands the issue?? I mean, grandma isn't going to figure this out on her own. She is happy to have a way to get in touch with her grandchildren and has no idea she is being exploited.
- amusedcyclist 5y agoOr maybe our sense of whats important is warped because of the bubble we live in ?
