Yes and no.

You can't blame the director of monetization for doing his job. You can blame the owner and the board of directors for going that route.

Those decision makers are what I mean when I call out the company, not the developer that's just doing what he's paid for.

You can monetize in ways that can't be summed up as "gambling"

You wouldn't need a monetization CEO then when the mission wasn't to implement sleazy and addicting tactics.

Yes you can? I could probably find a job kicking homeless people, that wouldn't mean i wasn't an awful person for taking that job. I get doing bad things to make a bag when you're desperate, but that dude is no doubt a rich prick that could easily retire by now.
