Or maybe snake oil is the wrong term. I don’t know if there’s a term for someone who warns others and they never listen, because it seems no matter how much you break into buildings and expose the flaws, hack a bank’s transaction, or infiltrate a database, the company will thank you, pay you a few hundred thousand dollars, then do nothing to change.
Essentially it just seems like I’m helping big companies bypass regulations by rubber stamping their pinky promises to change. I guess internal security auditing might be a little better, but I don’t know
Usually we refer to someone who gives warnings others ignore as Cassandra. Cassandra being the princess of Troy who was cursed by Apollo to know the future, but not to be believed by anyone. Basically the most relatable human being in existence if you're a leftist.
