Some say it's not the phone, it's the app a company makes.
So is it the company that is bad?
Company products and services are a result of the system of regulations. The market is a playground where companies survive, thrive, and die, always trying to maximize total future profit, which is dictated by the shape of what is allowed and what things humans will pay for.
The cause of "bad stuff" like "addiction" to a legal product/service is human nature. If a human will pay for something that is legal, there will be a market for it.
In other words: it's not the company, it's the system.
- MangoToupe 1y agoWell thankfully the market is privately owned by a single entity via the app store, so we can just regulate the company. Or they can just open their fucking platform and clean their hands of their curation of shitty apps, which has clearly failed.
