When I consider how much people hate Facebook, and my own sense that they don't really "do anything", it seems like there are an infinite number of better existing and potential enterprises someone could work for (or create). In that light, it seems churlish to focus on whether any benefits are distributed equitably. Maybe it's all garbage, so people should have the self-respect not to fight over it?
This sort of phrasing ("throw away their values") to me has the connotation that normal people have an exhaustive, complex, and perfectly logical system of "values" which guide them like a million-line computer program until they reach a breaking point for some unclear reason.
Which I'm describing in a way that sounds ridiculous, because I think it is. It's ridiculous squared to imply that I (or anyone) can infer how someone else's putative system of values works.
I have a distaste for Facebook, although I still use it, kind of like I would for an unpleasant person at work. But that has nothing to do with principles, which I don't admit to having.
