   Sick of this "whoever implemented bad idea X needs to seriously reconsider their life choices" turn of phrase.

   We're all in the same system together. For a lot of people, most people, working isn't a choice. Most of us don't have the luxury of not working for an unethical employer.

   But the "life choices" wording puts the onus on the one without the power, rather than blaming the corporation and the wider capitalist system for what's been implemented on whatever website we all hate this week.

      Where I live, online casinos, betting and gambling are one of the main sectors that tech workers find themselves involved with. People spend their days coming up with ways to trick punters into gambling more.

      The people doing this on the whole aren't Bad People, they are just surviving in a crap system.
