I capitalized LEGAL in my comment because if it's legal, it's legal (I'm not condoning it since slavery was legal once).

Culture wants profits. You are a sucker if you don't it. You are evil if you do it. I have a problem with this spreading culture and its laws about work. I'm from a developing country (not residing there though) and all the "free help, sharing is caring etc" stuff is gone now. It's all money.

Are we living in the same reality where we (society) teach 18 years old students how to distill people into numbers so you can apply data science to it (i.e. business school)? It's paid by public tax, completely seen as prestigious? Culture demands returns!

    And interested people drive the culture in this direction. They separate us, shove us algorithms and influence public opinion to make this insanity look normal.

    It is culture, sure. The culture manufactured to serve the interest of the few. But us talking here is culture, too. And that's why we share opinions in the first place. We can drive the culture against those who use it to exploit us.
