      Behavioral psychologists working for TikTok, Instagram and the likes are like physical doctors working for McDonald’s to make their junk food more addictive while blindly accepting that it will become even more unhealthy.

      What a miserable waste of workforce.

        I don’t know how anyone can do either job and not hate it. It’s the kind of work that has negative value

          They don’t see it as doing something wrong but as a challenge that they must overcome. The ethics don’t really come into play in their minds because someone else will just do it anyway and they’re just doing their job. Just like a police officer with their knee on someone’s throat.

      That is incompatible with a capitalist business model. Morality is nice and all, but please do that on your own time, during company hours we literally own your life.
