I think I hate you.

"But the money" is your argument for contributing to something you recognize as evil. Good on you for having at least some conscience so it "weighs on you". Apparently the money is too good though, or you don't care enough. Curious which one it is.

The toxicity on HN is a strange combination of vitriol and superiority complex. I can't really think of many other forums that spew such hatred while morally grandstanding to such an extent.

On the contrary, my experience from other forums is worse. HN audience tends to downvote simple grandstanding and demands sources etc.

A paradise of moral paladins seems to be Twitter, deliberately designed to stoke tensions and dissuade people from reasoning.
