As a union organizer with Hack Club staff, this is only the surface - the things that are clear to the end consumer. It gets a whole lot worse on the inside; from payment below minimum wage, mandatory overtime beyond child labor law, hiring kids as contractors to deny them rights, union busting & retaliation and a blatant disrespect for members and community democracy despite pretending to be `teen-led.` I'm not going to re-hash the whole thing here, I've written an article on my blog, but Hack Club is a deeply misleading "charity" that suckers teens in trying to build a better world and funnels them towards supporting our ever-rapid decline into techno-fascism at the hands of the wealthy elite funding them.

This user was banned from Hack Club for attempting to stage an "uprising" against the org, and has also engaged in tactics like Wikipedia vandalism. I would not take their word for being "a union organizer with Hack Club staff", although their blog does make several good points (https://place.reeseric.ci/writings/2024-05-05/)
