Right, and yahoo exploited people to get that money. Are you saying that his work on that site was more of a contribution to society than the entire lifetimes of thousands of tech workers, a few of which probably actually designed and built the site?
Okay but did he personally exploit those people? The people had already been exploited for their billions when Yahoo gave it to him.
Technically you also can’t buy food without exploitation, nor retire. And it’s not even unique to capitalism either, socialism also exploits people for others’ sake, the only thing that changes is the number of beneficiaries.
Really, you can’t have a society without exploitation.
That’s totally disingenuous. The scale is totally different. Removing enough money for tens or hundreds of thousands people to have comfortable lives with maybe a year or two of forcing others to overwork themselves for your vision and then not only hoarding it for the rest of your life, but using it to fund further exploitation by “investing” that money in those exploitative companies to exploit more and more. Comparing that to wanting to survive and being forced to purchase food and shelter using money you spent your entire lifetime overworking for from those exploitative companies is a totally different thing in so, so many ways.
He made a website that yahoo bought during the dot com boom for $5 billion.
And then hoarded billions for a couple decades?
