That may be the way you think. But no everybody here thinks that way. Some of us have no interest in giving away our business to investors so they can then push you over and do all kind of crap. And in addition some of us have no interest in extracting the absolute maximum value per user even if it involves unethical things. Because without doing so you can still live an extremely luxirous life.
- blantonl 4y agoI concur. I run my businesses with this in mind, my user's privacy is at the utmost importance to me, and the way I approach managing my business is to gain the good will of my customers first and provide a quality product. And my business is wildly successful. But I'm under no illusions to the reality of the situation, and I've been around HN long enough to know that the hypocrisy here can be deafening sometimes with regards to social media. The downvotes on my post prove it. Edit: just to bolster my point, the vast majority of ANY app developer around here on HN will have been to integrate every ad supported SDK in their apps, which literally invades the privacy of those users probably worse than Facebook does, all for a little bump in revenue.
- pessimizer 4y agoYou might be a great and ethical person whose cynicism about the behavior of others grew from experience, but "the vast majority of ANY app developer around here on HN will have been to integrate every ad supported SDK in their apps" is just making up a statistic and getting angry about it.
