If someone is making a brazen statement of being "a bad guy because 80K is not enough, and could not find anything decent for those extra $30K" what kind of treatment would they expect?

To be fair, there's a huge amount of people around here that work on the universal surveillance industry, and for many of them the alternative is way higher than 80k.
I’d argue that someone cracking CAPTCHAs has a lot less dirty hands than someone who works in an actually scummy industry like US health insurance. Those companies literally kill people by denying them care to pinch pennies. This guy might cause a little more spam on the already useless mess that is YouTube comments. Who cares. I’d take the money, too.
Typical US-centric way of thinking. If your healthcare system is crippled it does not justify making internet mess for everyone else in the world.
I’d have suggested adtech before health insurers.
