ESG needs to be rethinked
ESG stands for “environmental, social, and governance”

When people talk about it, they mostly focus on the environmental aspect.

But they don’t talk much about the social aspect.

Personally, I find that fossil fuel companies deserve a higher ESG rating than dating apps like $BMBL and $MTCH as well as large social networks like $FB.

I’ve come to this conclusion after witnessing the negative effects of hookup culture in my community and in other communities for many years.

These negative effects include:
  • a surge in STD cases
  • the ever growing rate of single motherhood
  • broken families
  • large scale distrust in one another (from an intimate level)
  • growing popularity in polygamy

These effects will be profound as time goes on. We will be seeing more kids struggling as their families get broken up or get born into single motherhood households. Productivity both locally, nationally, and internationally will drop significantly as people will be enduring a lot more relationship issues and health issues related to hookup culture.

The negative consequences continue to grow from there.

And don’t forget that for Facebook and other mainstream social media platforms, that there is a bigger incentive for these platforms to promote hateful content since it generates the most engagement and the most revenue.

While fossil fuel companies destroy areas of land in one aspect, they are providing the fuel needed to keep people warm in the winter and provide energy for the many things we rely on daily.

With that, I believe that social platforms and dating platforms should have a lower ESG rating than fossil fuel companies.

I understand that this is an unpopular opinion, but I hope that you can understand my perspective.
