Google & YouTube employees on HN: how do you justify still working at this company? Enough of the cognitive dissonance. Face your choices and tell me how you square yourself with them. For shame.

Google is a pretty huge company. What if they're working on something unrelated - maybe even something that benefits the world?

Google is an advertising and tracking company. Full stop.

A real-world example would be companies that make parts for nuclear bombs, but also make parts for thermostats.

If there were no other thermostat companies, you might have an argument. But there are plenty of other thermostat companies, and plenty of other tech companies than Google.
