Millions of people do already care. Why do you want most people to care? Honest question.
It is a really serious concern, even if a majority does not directly think about it. Just like water pollution or fertilizer runoff. Essential stuff, that affects everybody, but there's no real need for everybody to care about it. I don't understand why you paint this as a an elephant in the room to address. Not all battles are won by swinging public opinion.
- arcturus17 5y agoBecause what are ideas in technology without adoption? To your point, arguably not enough people have cared about climate issues for too long… It is only now that pressure is piling up on governments and corporations to change, and arguably it’s late and much remains to be done. Similarly, the trends towards a gated web described in the article continue to grow. I want more people to care because my rights and those of my loved ones are better protected if enough people care. I also want people to care because I prefer to develop open web products and services, and the more demand there is for them, the easier designers and developers in the space can make a living. Why would anyone not want more people to care?
