> My guess is the people who have such black and white views haven't ever been tasked with marketing a product in a true professional capacity This is so, so true and in such a broad way. I've had this thought gnawing at me for ages that these people who are doing seemingly evil things (think James Comey, Ajit Pai) have likely been tested in ways I never have. Who knows how I would handle being in their situation? I don't think it excuses or absolves true wrongdoing, but it does give me some sympathy or at least reasonable doubt of malice. This an elementary concept, but it never seems to get mentioned. To be clear, I'm not one of the people who categorically hates your profession. I'm an advocate of privacy, I avoid most types of social media, use uBlock, etc. But I can see it being hard to figure out where the line is, and how to not cross it. I've never worked in the consumer/media/ads world and had to face the "what to track" dilemma head-on.
