  If profit results in a demographic no longer being underrepresented or an afterthought, I'm all for it.

    Was it really an issue before, though? The article mentions that digital cameras were already better at taking photos of darker skin. I never noticed that photos of black people were of bad quality on the internet.

      Better doesn't mean can't improve. And maybe Google and Africa's largest phone maker[1] know something you don't. [1] https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29224140 https://news.ycombinator.com/item?id=29224140

        Presumably photographs got better all over the board, not just for black people. Technology simply got better over time.
