Yes, I count most of marketing industry as a big pile of zero-sum games. As for what it has to do with technology, I noticed people replaced out of service jobs by machines (either directly or through effectivity gains) to migrate towards jobs in ad industry. So yesterday's shop clerks are today's Social Media Marketers and/or graphics designers. In this way I see marketing as an ever growing sponge sucking people in and giving them bullshit jobs.
