Most of the time it's just that your concept of "vilified" doesn't match theirs. I don't see an issue with smoking, with gambling, with oil and gas, with porn

I don't see an issue with smoking, with gambling, with oil and gas, with porn or really any of this stuff.
It's just not that big a deal to me. And yeah, I know that tobacco companies intentionally make cigs more addictive. Everyone with half a brain does.
By contrast I think that privacy is more important than all of the so I'd never work at GooSoft.
Outside of hyper judgemental political circles generally no-one really cares what you do. Journalists seem to really get off on claiming that their opinion is "the" opinion, though.
- s1k3 4y agoYou nailed it at the end. It’s traditional media and social media that vilifies these industries and companies. Which if we know anything is not a common opinion held among most people… it’s just the loudest and most polarizing. Everyone has beliefs that put them against certain companies and industries but it’s quite varied and hardly anyone is the same.
- origin_path 4y agoWhich is ironic because a lot of people vilify the journalism industry.
- __derek__ 4y agoMy very unscientific impression is that GooBook get a lot more negative media coverage than tobacco, gambling, oil, porn, etc., companies. Which might fit with your conclusion: GooBook is the competition, while the others are either customers or locked out of mainstream advertising.
- t_mann 4y agoWe could ask the reverse question: how many industries aren't vilified in some social circles? Heck, even the people who gave us Covid vaccines received death threats.
