It seems to me that some people have no regard for the law, the ethics, the morals, etc.. If it benefits them to break it, they will do it, as long as they know they will face no or minimal consequences if caught.

They would even feel good about it because they have managed to obtain an unfair advantage and get away with it.

I don’t think an admin editing a comment in production is criminal or even unethical per se.

It’s merely a dick move, unbecoming of a social media giant.

An average doctor probably does more unethical or criminal things in every given month out of tiredness coupled with inattention, but that’s banal & preventable negligence.

What Spez did was, outside of any ethical considerations, a window into his understanding of his relationship with the site and its users, and his lack of any sense of obligation to them.
