No you didn’t call them evil: you just called them

>Very, very toxic things for society, like human behavior modification (ad) systems

You didn’t say those points about people’s intents, you just said you won’t hire them / won’t work with them.

Sorry for paraphrasing. My argument stands.

Yes you’re allowed to have whatever opinions you want to hold. But here you’re proclaiming it in a public space where it can definitely be construed as judgmental.

Finally you call my arguments as fighting a straw man and yet you construct one yourself: ‘folks who work in an ethical vacuum’. My whole point is that’s probably a very minuscule amount of folks and something you are refining as a true Scotsman from your previous generic statements. My whole response is around how most folks do consider it but file it under fair use expectations and move on - so it is not a fair opinion. That’s all.

You aren’t making any sense.

You sound like you were offended by my characterization of ad systems and extrapolated a ton of imaginary arguments from there you’re attacking. I’m not sure who you are arguing with, but it sure isn’t me.
