Thank you, thank you! While I wouldn't consider myself one of the people to be doing something as despicably useless as writing farmville or designing PPC ads (I guess others might beg to differ), your observation is very good. Here is a real problem, and if you don't think it's affecting you personally, you're deceiving yourself.
