I’m getting tired of people putting survival over standing up to the system.

That’s a pretty privileged position to take. “Hey you, poor person, you should die so I have the opportunity to benefit from the system changing.” Is that any different from what CEO was doing?

Does a McDonalds worker lose anything by not turning the guy in?

Yes, $50k.

I’m not trying to justify it. I’m just pointing out that a year and a half salary is a pretty strong incentive. That is the opportunity to quit your job and not worry about money for a couple of months while you look for a better job. Whether you work at McDicks or Xitter, I understand the appeal of that. And I think a lot of people at least consider that.

Maybe after a certain point even those trying to survive should share the blame for the negativity their contributions bring.

This transaction feels like a bribe to keep the poors in check.

I mean, yeah. That’s the whole point. But I still don’t blame the individuals that are also victims of the system.

$50k of a reward. Probably over 1.5 years of salary.

Even if you have 100% confidence in your own provider, you also need 100% confidence in every other recipients provider, which is basically impossible.

gone downhill imo since the Nexus 6

Nexus 6 was released October 2014. That same month, Moto Mobility was sold to Lenovo. So its not just “in your opinion” that was the start of the reduction in quality of the Moto brand.

Its called enshitification. Its a process that’s been happening in all areas of tech for a while now.
