Seems like lots of programmers despise advertising. It is an example of irrational religious behaviour, the very thing they claim to oppose.
How much of advanced technology was forgotten and eventually reinvented due to the lack of proper advertising?
Lisp and Smalltalk contained lots of ideas that made Wolfram products possible. Hackers who appreciate those ideas should probably be excited that a successful entrepreneur exists who makes larger audiences familiar with them at last.

What is irrational or religious about despising attempts designed to obfuscate meaning? Good advertising would communicate clearly. If you can find programmers that also despise non-deceptive advertising you might be onto something.
