    You still shouldn’t blame inexperienced young people for being exploited.

      Sure, but there’s no need to infantilize young tech workers either. Most of them knowingly decided to work in the most competitive industry, despite having a skillset that would earn them a better wage with comfortable work-life balance anywhere else. They can quit at any time and get a job that’s better in literally every way except that the end product won’t be shiny.

      The real victims aren’t software developers, but people in creative positions: writers, graphists, designers, modelers, etc. who don’t necessarily have a skillset necessarily highly valued outside of the entertainment industry.
