Comparing Jack Dorsey to Gwyneth Paltrow is unfair because she made money by recommending Goop products. Dorsey, on the other hand, is being open about his lifestyle because people ask him about it.


They are being compared as sources of cultural influence, not in terms of their personal degree of responsibility.


I'm glad someone said this. As far as I know Dorsey just discusses his love of pseudo-science while Paltrow actively shills it for profit.


Curious which of Dorsey's practices you consider pseudo-science?

Both meditation and fasting have been practiced for thousands of years and have plenty of scientific studies backing up their benefits.


I'm not sure "because people ask him about it" is a very clear line here or means much.

People might ask Paltrow too...


Yes they may ask her too but she has a personal financial stake in the products shes recommending/selling directly unlike Dorsey.


Ah I understand what you're saying now. That makes sense.


How does selling Fabric make them less focused on ads? Looking at the numbers, ads is their main source of revenue.
