> The tech industry nowadays is no longer about solving real-world problems and making the world a better place Your complaints are legitimate problems with the industry, but it should come as no surprise that a free market does not always make ethical decisions. > Unfortunately there's just nothing out there that pays as well so I have no choice but to tough it out. You always have a choice. Nobody ever promised that a choice which "makes the world a better place" would necessarily be the one that's best for any individual's own wallet. It usually isn't. As long as tech workers continue to choose to do work purely based on salary, even when it "screws the end user in every single way possible", employers are incentivized to continue to pay them to do so. The job market works both ways. It's hard to muster much pity for someone who uses "toughing it out" to describe making a great salary and (by their own admission) screwing their customers.
