i don't know, there's genocide and starvation and plenty of other profoundly disturbing things in the world. whether specific apps are stupid or not, or get funding or not, doesn't even register on my care-o-meter.

a huge portion of the 'technology' industry is just rich/privileged people doing nonsensical things that may make them a bunch of money. whatever.

trying to find or impose some kind of rationality on it is in my opinion pointless, and holding it accountable to some kind of moral benchmark is as sure as anything i've ever seen, to disappoint.
