I guess people thought “the genius Steve Jobs” wouldn’t go a homeopathic route to treat his actually treatable pancreatic cancer

This is exactly what I would do if I was stealing data legally from my users. Ignore it (except what I can make a quick buck on) and keep shoving asinine bs to them for no reward other than my fiscal bonuses.
