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.
