"CEO Evan Spiegel grew up without TV, and credits the technology restriction to his success".
Sigh. Only if things were that simple. I'm sure it was one of hundreds of factors that worked in his favors.
> Spiegel was born in Los Angeles, California, to lawyers John W. Spiegel and Melissa Ann Thomas. He grew up in Pacific Palisades, California, where he was raised Episcopalian. He was educated at the Crossroads School for Arts and Sciences in Santa Monica, and attended Stanford University.[1]
The "managerial class" people who actually read this stuff are often literally millionaires if you count their inflated home values and retirement funds. This is a magazine to be read by doctors, lawyer, investment bankers and techies, not people who work outdoors.
The sliced of the economic ladder who are often derided by people slightly up the ladder as "temporarily embarrassed millionaires" for not sharing the same views mostly don't care what the billionaires are up to unless one of them tries to buy an election presides over some technological breakthrough or some other highly newsworthy event.
