When picking a potential employer, programmers often think "what about Google?" or "what about Facebook?" or "What about the hottest a16z startup?". When those programmers then compare/contrast the behavior of the companies they're considering, it is not considered a logical fallacy, but "making a list of pros/cons."

If I am going to trade my time and energy for money, I think it's fair to compare my options, and not an act of irrationality.

You're completely missing the point of my comment. You say "crypto is not as bad as facebook" which is a textbook whataboutism. "crypto" isn't as bad as the Shoah, so what?
