I don't know about the OP, but I would. The advertising industry has repeatedly shown itself to be sleazy and underhanded and willing to throw everybody under the bus to make money for themselves. Spam, malware, pop-up ads, tracking cookies, extra loud volume commercials, etc. They can't go out of business fast enough, IMO. You probably wouldn't defend a pay-day loan business, so why defend advertisers?
