The idea that everyone involved in the economic system of app development simply lacks moral character is a pretty weak take. Most apps/companies exist within a capitalistic framework. They likely wouldn’t exist without early external capital providing upfront funding for R&D.

In your mind, who should bear the cost of building and maintaining large services like Instagram?



It's not that they lack moral character - is that they don't exercise it.

The whole system rewards maximization of profits, and all else is an up hill battle.
