"this is what you get for trying to handle us with kid gloves" is an understandable reaction/blowback from advertisers but I don't think it's something we should be giving any real weight or merit. it's also generally an indictment of the modern neoliberal regulatory approach in general. asking people nicely to follow train safety regulations etc isn't going to get you results. even fines/penalties largely end up just as cost-of-doing-business (even in the EU). if you really want behavior to go away, make it illegal and give people at the top Sarbanes-Oxley-style legal culpability if it happens on their watch. again, if you want to know the right way to set incentives so that people don't do a thing, you need only look at the way rich people want their money handled. you can bet that ripping off rich people is an ultra-mega-crime and doesn't just get a 1%-of-the-takings slap on the wrist. And lo and behold SOX does actually hold important people accountable as a result, not just some fall guy at the bottom.
