Don't forget the other side of it: we as programmers, designers, PMs, etc. have a lot more concentrated power than end users do. One of many good reasons to unionize is the ability to set professional standards.
- PaulHoule 5y agoThis. For people in the software biz I think being allowed to make quality products is one of the most important aspects of our working conditions, particularly for our social standing in the long term.
- Griffinsauce 5y agoProfessional standards have a hard time against monetary incentives. We should work towards making dark patterns simply illegal and removing those incentives. Edit: AND unionize AND vote for proper labor rights that make unions unnecessary. I just mean to say that it's better to remove the problem rather than trying to "battle" it with more force.
