The weird subtext of this article is that it's an example of a certain kind of person, the type for whom the entire point of making things is to make money, and it's only by accident that it's about doing something useful. Here's a person who reads entrepreneurship books and takes notes on good ways to find business opportunities, makes an app to help people basically cheat because that's where the money is, naturally explains how it's not cheating when asked, and dismisses the obvious reaction as 'negativity'... I mean, it's cool to make something, I guess, but it's possible that your life's work is to help slowly ruin the world despite doing your "job" / following all the obvious rules of society at every step... and I kinda think this is what that mindset looks like "on the inside"?
