This actually infuriates me. All those people who spent the last 20 years building adtech and social media. Thanks! You created a world that is now skeptical of tech and makes the rest of our jobs harder.
Frankly, Id be worried with social and ad tech companies on my resume. I basically throw these away now.

I sort of unintentionally ended up in ad tech recently, and deeply regret it. I enjoy the technical issues, but...ironically, anybody who would throw out my resume because it has ad tech on it is exactly the kind of person I would want to work for. C'est le vie, I guess I'll stay in ad tech.

- spacecadet 3y agoYes. Please stop making apps and help us solve some more pressing problems. We're living in a dark age of technology.
