I'm going to try and keep this as dispassionate as possible.
I did a project with a UK gambling company. I have tried to do everything in my power to expunge it from my work history as well as, more importantly, my moral history.
If you need the money, need the money, then it's up to you. But it is an industry that preys on the vulnerable.
- vundercind 2y agoI was at one for a handful of months. It was way grosser than I imagined it would be. This one also happened to be a subsidiary of a major far-right media organization, which didn’t help, but the gambling arm per se was totally disgusting. I now know I couldn’t work on ads at any major company, too. Same kind of harmful optimization dynamic. (Incidentally, as I was able to gather, a great deal of money in sports generally but almost all of it in esports is connected to gambling. So, there’s that)

- sshine 2y ago> it is an industry that preys on the vulnerable It is. It’s like working for organised drug dealers. Or for a cryptocurrency. Hoping dumb suckers will waste their money by making poor choices.
