someone came on Shark Tank and proposed an app that would capture incoming messages and not show them unless you know a password and the procedure. The app owner intended it for secretive messages between two people. O'Leary immediately pounced and said it would be great for corporations, banking and investment because so much info is sensitive and a loss of a phone can be devastating.
Cuban said he didnt like it, that it promoted cheating and didnt want to think his loved ones were cheating.
how is this different? so instead of secretive messages between two people, its secretive messages between two people in the context of regulation. of course, the self disappearing nature is new addition to the same concept, like Snapchat.
- drzaiusapelord 12y agoI'm assuming that ST is scripted television for the most part (as much as 'reality' TV can be scripted) and the people who do all the legwork and pick these products sit with the "sharks" before hand trying to drum up a dramatic narrative for the show. Cuban was just playing his role to counter the other guy. That's how you get ratings and that's how you get paid. Anything past that is giving these guys way too much credit. Cuban's "good guy" narrative on ST is a character he plays. This proposal is more the "real" Cuban, someone who fights for the interests of the 1%.
