Your last argument can be applied to about anything regarding performing unethical tasks to stay afloat. I don’t find it convincing for engineers that work for Reddit. They can start work at any other tech company, too, so by absolving all the blame is a bit much, in the end they choose to implement it right?

Work at any high profile internet company and people on the internet will complain about something you’ve worked on.

There doesn’t seem to be anything particularly unethical about any work Reddit engineers have done.

I mean, sounds like you have a problem with the product managers not the engineers.

Well, at least they're not working for Palantir or Meta, so give them some credit.
