    I don’t think it’s an engineer problem as much as a management problem. The implementation is done by the engineers, sure, but it’s the product managers who decide the direction and it’s them who are at fault here

      I’m not sure how you can blame a corporation for doing the job of a corporation. It’s capitalism doing its thing.

      I will blame the end users. When the masses of anti-bot pro-advertising normies decide to run browsers that play the token game, it will be on them. Just as countless shitty websites get high ranking search results today… it’s because the masses endorse it.

      Boycotts are far too rare. It’s the consumer’s job to #boycott. They don’t do their job and this is the real point of failure (which Google gladly exploits).

      Engineers could leave and find a new job. “Just doing my job” is not a real defense.
