I agree with you on not wanting to fuck the users over either. Personally I don't want to do that.
But the reality is, I have other things I need in life too, and those things require money. My dad is working into his 70s, what if I could fund his retirement? What if I could pay for my brothers uni? Or for my grandma's nurse?
When our basic necessities are not secure, we can't always make the ethical choice. Until then, people will keep selling out.
- gizmo 3y agoLiterally everybody has family members who could use extra money. If having family absolves you from ethical constraints we can dispense with the notion of ethics altogether.
- amrocha 3y agoSure, and that's why most people would sell. Having a family doesn't "absolve you" from ethics, but it means that you have to weight doing right by your family vs doing right by your users. Most people choose their family, and nobody blames them for it.
- JohnFen 3y ago> nobody blames them for it I do. If somebody has to do wrong by their customers to do right to their family, they've seriously messed everything up.
- amrocha 3y agoOk well, that's alright but you have to realize that you're in the minority here. And no, they haven't messed everything up, society has failed them
- alickz 3y agoI don't think selling your company is unethical
