> It's demoralizing working on the subscription feature.

Agree. I loathe subscriptions and avoid them like Covid. But the code I write for the publishing industry is out there day and night, across continents, pitching subscriptions to readers thousands of times per minute. Begging them to renew for this limited time offer, prodding them through the checkout process.

It's not like a pacifist writing missile guidance software, but it's sad that this is where the money is.

You could always work in advertising instead

I'd suggest the GP is indeed working in advertising

   pitching subscriptions to readers thousands of times per minute. Begging them to renew for this limited time offer, prodding them through the checkout process.

(but shh... please don't tell)

This made me literally lol.

Still.

At the end of the day, if you've tried to get paid for a service or product you provide, to some degree you work in advertising.
