I wonder if he has mixed feelings for students who take jobs getting people to click on ads...

  He does. He's expressed those feelings before (though in a limited manner).

    Where?

      In a talk I attended which had him as a speaker. Sorry I don't have a linkable source. Maybe he's written something about it too, I'll link something here if I find something.

      The entire article is about that. It's not against a specific profession, it's against people happily taking every opportunity to make $101 instead of $100 for themselves even if that additional $1 for them may cost society as a whole $1000.

  It's easy to trivialize the value that Google, etc. provide, but think about how many businesses can now reach customers (with measurable ROI) that couldn't before. In a previous era they were paying 10-100x as much for newspaper or magazine ads they couldn't track.
