I did agonize for a bit when people say things like "the best minds of our century are working on people to click on ads", but I've made peace with myself. I chose advertising instead of finance because I deemed it to be less scumbaggy than finance (not really, online advertising is a shithole filled with mines and there are many many faces of online advertising ranging from the very clean to the very dodgy) I thankfully work for a company that tries very hard not to work on the dodgy side of things, and we do actively work on tackling really dodgy stuff, so I don't think comparing online advertising to spamming is quite a valid point. I don't think it's cultural acceptance. I'm just being open with my views. My views on online advertising is similar to my views on guns: advertising is not inherently bad neither is it inherently good.
