All CEOs of the big ones are sociopaths. It’s by design.
You don’t have to be a sociopath to be a CEO, but most CEOs are sociopaths… because sociopathic traits, mostly lack of empathy and zero issue with being horribly manipulative, are traits that tend to be selected for to move up to this level.
A lot of them sell shit or practice law instead.
“Its not an addiction, I’m not addicted snorts line off a toilet seat I’M PERFECTLY FUNCTIONAL”
Goddammit, who the hell let RFK Jr. in here?
I don’t even use “being awake” 16 hours a day 😂
Guys you heard it here first: You can drink alcohol for 16 hours everyday and it’s not addiction.
Well yeah, because you are fucking dead. Dying might be the best cure for addiction’s known to man.
Pfft. I’ve drank for 16 hours many a day and I’m not dead.
I think the better language is “you can be drunk 16 hours a day” which, some people are, and they’re certified alcohol addicts. So shoving Instagram in your brain the same way is the same disease, different symptoms.
Hell yeah
I’ve known drug dealers more honourable than this.
A system that benefits people who lie about objective facts should be destroyed.
If the tactical business decision is to look someone in the face and say “spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours, idly gazing at photos of anything is not an addiction” in order to protect business interests, then things are wrong. Addiction to a product should be met with horror! Oh no, how could this happen? Instead, it’s part of the business model.
“Business” is a blight.
spending 2/3rds of a day, 16 whole hours
Even worse: if you get a proper night’s sleep, 16 hours is literally the entire day. Dude is saying if you are getting healthy amounts of sleep, it is perfectly acceptable to spend 100% of your time doom scrolling on their website. No eating, no going to work, no showering.
It’s an absurd statement.
Are you sure it benefits him to say that? I think its not even a left vs right issue to recognize this is an issue. At least it sparks discussion and makes people criticize him.
This has to be rage bait. I feel like the less time I’m on there, the happier I am. Even the 30 minutes daily limit that I usually set for apps like that is time I’m never getting back.
The only reason I have an account to begin with is because I’m a photographer (even if just a hobbyist) and I like to have some presence in the circles I’m in. If it wasn’t for that, I wouldn’t be there at all.
Why does he look like Steve Carrell playing a sociopathic big tech asshole?
He looks like David Wallace
Thought it was the Verizon guy.
Like in Mountainhead.
UltraViolence
Punchable face.
Coming from a potential cocaine sniffing addict that’s not surprising
I dunno. I found it pretty addicting when I was holding both a vape and my phone, and I had doomscrolled for 9 hours till the battery died without having hit my vape once
They want to be an integral part of our lives, like thinking, except they’ll take the place of thinking, or talking, or even looking around.
You can trust ol empty eyes there. He knows what he is lying.
Of all my active addictions, none take 16 hours to satiate.
Well, Diablo 2 sure has for me.
Diablo 3 and Tiny Tina’s done this for me
Tiny Tina omg
