I think the kind of person that works at Amazon, after all that's been disclosed about worker conditions, is likely to be completely OK with this.

That's not really fair. Jobs are sometimes hard to get, and landing a job at Amazon could make a huge difference in someone's life.

That might not be true; if the story itself indicates anything, it's that at least until recently, there were two people who worked for Amazon who were not okay with it. I wouldn't be surprised if there were more who are just afraid to speak out precisely because of the risk of getting fired.

I see no downside of allowing your employer to actively exploit others, simply because they're not (currently) exploiting you. "They've always been good to me", you say, "I never would have expected this."

We all have to eat. Working there and exposing their problems with the credibility of being an insider has a lot of value. I’m not saying working there is necessarily moral, but capitalism requires us all to choose between various immoral choices (have you looked at how your phone is made?). The only real thing to do is try to organize to stop it imo.
