Really?

Every SV think piece I read has Facebook, Apple, Google and Amazon as the unassailable leaders of the industry.

HN comments would have one believe that everybody hates Facebook when the reality is that most regular people find it very useful.

And on top of that, there is a certain amount of hypocrisy here. How many HN commenters who hate Facebook, still work for startups that have (and profit off of) a Facebook presence?

I'd bet most.

I'm not sure you are aware, but you are not the startup you work for. (or at least most people are not)

And in reality maybe Facebook is useful, it is still designed and built for one purpose (as every company in world), to maximize profit. And they are doing it by turning their users into dopamine addicts. So it does not matter if it has useful functions when it turns you into an addict.
