        Nah, people are the worst & judging them is fair. Plus, the mod is overstepping: “Be excellent to each other!” means each other in the discussion, and the subject of contempt is clearly not here with us.

        We don’t owe humanity reservation from our contempt just because someone did something massively stupid to themselves. And we don’t need to accept the premise that the power of “big, evil megacorp” somehow relieves an individual of the duty to exercise critical thought. They had all the time & power to make a decision & chose poorly: this failure is entirely theirs & we have every reason to scorn them for it. Everyone is entitled to their opinion.

          You speak as though you know every socioeconomical and psychological aspect of this person to know beyond a reasonable doubt that this was simply a poor decision on their part. You speak like a narcissist. Narcissists are not entitled to an opinion.
