Well, having empathy with growth hackers is reprehensible and worth critiquing. The idea of growing a business for the sake of having a big business is horrifying; it's the desire to explicitly build a large social institution and use it to damage and oppress people.

From that perspective, you're the one lacking in empathy; you would like us to have our sympathies lie with the few who build businesses, rather than the many who are harmed by the business.
