Thanks David! When you say that failing to live up to ethical standards is not sustainable, I really hope you're right. When you see the backlash that some of these startups get I totally agree, the lack of ethical imagination is killing them before they can even release a product. Which is great, no 'Juicero' should be able to exist on this earth.

At the other hand, a Facebook issues an apology every few weeks and no-one bats an eye. Or we say it's a terrible company for a week while we never stop using it. That shouldn't be sustainable either but if that was the case Facebook should've died years ago. Now it almost seems too big to fail, and that worries me. (Remember they had that motto 'go fast and break things'? That really only sounds good if you're a sports-hero or viking. We should've known a squishy keyboard hero with such a motto would spell trouble).
