The same applies to online betting and most of the mobile-game industry of today (which is basically also betting). Outside of FAANG-like companies there’s where lots of money is when it comes to being a programmer/IT person, I would personally not touch that industry for almost anything in the world, but there are many amongst us (programmers/IT people) who don’t have those scruples.

I wouldn't touch a FAANG-like company and more than an online casino. In fact, FAANG developers are worse because they're ignorant to the harm they do. The high salaries are there so you don't look any deeper!

  I think one of the most egregious examples of this is Snapchat Inc's official mission statement being: We contribute to human progress by empowering people to live in the moment From my own observations of how snapchat makes people behave in the moment I couldn't think of a statement any more ironic

I have found very few people have morals when it comes to money. I would gander 1 out of 100 refuses to do something when faced with loosing money. Psychiatrists=Most know antidepressants don't work, but they still prescribe them. (Irving Kirsch) Lawyers=Happliy take that retainer knowing you will be found guilty. Chiropractors/Osteopaths=Subluxation does not exist, unless in a bone bending accident. Religious Leaders=Most mouth the words, and collet the money. My point is most people can't afford to have morals. If it's not illegial; 99% of you will follow along the money trail. Who ever speaks up at a FANG that isn't independently wealthy when they see something slimey. How many people spoke up over the NSA?

  > most people can't afford to have morals Your examples suggest the opposite, all of those people could very much afford to take the moral high ground. Let's not excuse people's greed by pretending that they would otherwise starve.
