Just as putting actual cocaine in Coca-cola at first also optimized shareholder value. And it was perfectly legal, and not really even considered unethical - heck, it boosted energy, the user gets a beneficial service!
Of course, we know how that worked out. What is galling is that Meta absolutely knows it is creating a bunch of cocaine addicted children.
- megaman821 3y agoOr Coca-cola was made using the coca leaf and the kola nut for flavor and energy reasons. The coca leaf has trace amounts of cocaine in it but is not like they were mixing cocaine powder into their drinks. They still use the coca leaf today but with the cocaine part bred out. Bringing up wrong historic points about "evil capitalists" doesn't really help your case against Meta.
- GlibMonkeyDeath 3y agoHmm, let me scan my words again - did I say they were evil capitalists or used cocaine powder? ...Nope don't see that anywhere. They used a natural product that contained cocaine. They very much "put this in" their drinks. The analogy is actually excellent because probably the early makers of Coca-cola didn't understand the dangers of what they were doing, either.
