Easy way to shift the blame if one has ever taken part in designing these products.
Hell I remember years ago on HN when that book about getting people hooked/addicted to an app was a popular book to discuss, making the analogy more true.
You’re right, maybe people are the problem. Just like how the Sacklers pushes their wares and hooked the masses so did SV
- s1artibartfast 5y agoThe opiate crisis is also largely a people problem. What the sackler's did was bad but it would have happened without them. Like in this case, some reasonable regulations may help, but won't solve the problem
- can16358p 5y agoWell, yeah drugs aren't the problem. Same analogy applies to drugs, "addictive" apps or anything that one may call addictive in any sense. In the end it's the people who use them, you can't blame the creator of them as long as they don't lie about the product.
