I think Hacker News might need to take a chill pill and stop calling complete industries dishonest with so little to back it up. Most of the marketing industry is just as honest as most of the tech industry. In fact, it's far easier to argue that many products labeled as "tech" are far more manipulative than your average marketing agency.

Pointing to another industry's guilt doesn't make the first industry innocent. Are you disagreeing with my example? How many companies actually DON'T try to trick people into giving them their mailing address, and then stockpile the emails?
