Finding a company less bad for the world than Meta isn't very hard. They pay really well to compensate, so people will rationalise working there of course, but "everyone does it" is just a way to dodge responsibility for your own choices

If you value money over other people, it's a great place to work though

Smearing shit on your face every morning is "less bad" than smearing shit all over your whole body every morning.

"Everyone does it" is as much of a cope as "less bad". You are still covered in shit.

That argument could be made against any improvement that isn't an immediate leap to perfection. It's not very useful
