Exploiting an egg?
Having people produce something and not paying them what it is worth so someone else can profit - is exploitation.
Remove the prejudice from the word. Just like if you “exploit a coal seam” or “exploit sunlight to generate electricity”. You are deriving value from something where the benefit is more than the cost. When the exploitation crosses a human, it (rightly) takes on a negative connotation.
