What you say is true, and I read it as a positive not a negative. The "unethical" part is subjective so the manipulation doesn't get to me.
I see this as positive because computer nerds (I'm one) get to be paid very well to figure out the new and shiny. It's what I'd be doing at home anyway.
Most of the time nothing of value is created (Except my amusement), but every once in a while something brilliant is, and due to scale, it can have big impact.

- silverquiet 3y agoApparently you're not supposed to make comparisons to Nazi Germany (Godwin's law if you want to be too-online about it); it's considered gauche I suppose. What's funny is that that strikes me as a really good rule to follow if you do in fact want to sleepwalk your society into an analogue of Nazi Germany.
