I think the purpose is that this could be eye-opening for people who aren’t as tuned in as the average lemming. A co-founder of a company saying that the same company is bad and should not exist is a very workable route toward getting more kinds of people to see situations like this as what they truly are.
Most/many of us here are just not the intended demo for articles like this, but a lack of personal relevance is not the same as a total lack of value.

I mean it is a total lack of value, because it once again means that people listen to some rando on where our society should move towards rather than scientists. Facebook is bad for society. Don’t listen to founders, don’t listen to millionaires, don’t listen to billionaires. Listen to scientists.
If people actually listen to this dude and not to scientists, that’s an even bigger problem, because once again people are incapable of understanding value at a basic level.

It’s entry level and that is not without value. Everybody has to start somewhere, or else they never start at all. If this article inspires even a couple hundred others to start paying attention where it counts, that would be a positive and valuable change.

Entry level would be listening to scientists on news sites… not continuing to listen to billionaires on news sites. Their behavior has not changed one iota if they continue to listen to billionaires on the news.
