I think making massive money on crap that enables you to spend time on things you actually do value - be they other apps, a family, hobby or passion to save the world - is a perfectly valid way to live life.

Your post sounds like nothing more than sour grapes.



Well, have fun doing your human exploitation startups. It's not for me, I can't do it.

It's just not in me. It's not sour grapes, it's just utter incomprehension on why anyone would spend their life exploiting others. I just don't understand the motivation behind it.

I actually do not think it's a perfectly valid way of life, I think it's evil and sociopathic. But that's my opinion and you have yours.

Happiness is different for everybody.

Exploiting what exactly?


How is it evil exploiting stupid people? A fool and his money are soon parted are they not?


so is a fool and his potential, however slim.


Depends... making money on crap (that the market and people want) is OK as long as you use it to spend time on things that you think would be useful for people, the society. Spending this time (i.e. money) on yourself (family, hobby, whatnot) is not ethical.


Why is it unethical to spend your money on your family? I think that's a claim that needs more explanation.
