I did retirement home training and used to think it was a sweet job. Then I got in the business and underestimated how demoralizing it was as they give you the easy elders in training while the others make you, or at least me, really think of the fact the job just amounts to an unkarmic freebie.

Data brokers. Also, those bug-bounty fuckers, both the buyers and sellers of exploits. They make the internet a worse place.

Edit: a slight edit on grammar.

Hard agree on the data brokers, but what's bad about bug bounty programs? I'd say it's a good thing you get a reward if you help make a product more secure, and it helps discourage people from selling zero-days to black hats. Or do you mean black hat bug bounty systems? They are already super illegal

Looking at the replies, I realized I'm too much of a normie for this thread.

Cops, prison guards, landlords.

Cops, landlords, the entire advertising industry, anything to do with the stock exchange, PMCs, lobbyists (and by extension most career politicians)...

I'm just getting started
