Oh, I think I see the issue. If your post is anything to go by then people think I'm talking about tech or even just the web. That's understandable since both are frequently the target of my ire, however in this instance I am specifically talking about the advertising and marketing industry.

I think it's fair, considering the sky-high salaries at the top end of our industry are almost solely due to ad revenue. We'd all see significant downward pressure on wages without that—we're basically accountants by social status already, but losing ad revenue would put us in the same area pay-wise, too.
