alt Hacker News> ultra-shady stuff like rendering a word as a list of randomly ordered divs for each character, and only using CSS to display in a readable way.
I wonder how much the developers writing that are being paid to be complete assholes.

Knowing what total comp is like for those companies, I'm sure Facebook more than exceeded the price one might put on ethics.
I've personally resigned from positions for less and it hasn't cost me much comfort in life (maybe some career progression perhaps but, meh).

Shouldn't this kind of thing be illegal as a matter of accessibility?

I can't speak for FB. But I know a local (non-US) real estate company which does crap like this (they also love to disable right click and detect when browser tools are open and programmatically close the tab/page when that happens), and they're not paying much. I'm guessing it's double of minimum wage, which isn't high here.
