Sure you can make penny, you can do a lot of pennies on various amoral businesses, often the deeper this shit goes the more gold is in it.
I call it amoral, nobody even trying to object it since we all know reality, and I stand by it. It slowly but surely destroys future of our kids and makes it bleaker, and objectively worse. Maybe not massively (and maybe yes, I don't know and neither do you), and its hard to pinpoint a single actor, so lets point it in ad business.
But I guess as long as you have your 'pretty penny' thats all you care about? I don't expect much sympathy on a forum where better half of participants work for the worst offenders, 'pretty penny' it is as we all know, but curious about a single good argument about that pesky morality.
That response was not to your comment, but a different comment.
I don't see why advertising is particularly moral or immoral. Depends on the platform, content, product, etc. Which is why I asked you for suggestions about other ad platforms.
Advertising is amoral because it’s end game is always sacrificing things humans generally regard as valuable—our attention, leisure time, savings—for shareholder revenue. Advertising always has an incentive to increase revenue by being ever more invasive, corrupting anything it touches. As it goes, it shifts our perception of normal—just imagine asking someone from the 1920ies whether they’re okay with ads blasting from gas station pumps, elevators, or toilets. Or if they would be okay with someone watching your every move and deduct what they could offer you when you’re exhausted or miserable and easy prey.
Advertisers have convinced us this is normal. It’s not. And it will only ever get worse.
1920s had advertisements. I’m not saying all ads are good (“it depends”) but also don’t see the case that all ads are inherently bad. Seems very ideological
