I would rather do what this guy did then spend 40 years of my life trying to get people to click ads.

It sounds like he didn't enjoy his job on wall street. I wouldn't enjoy a job as a facebook developer. We all have our opinions.

I agree with the sentiment, but that's like saying that anyone who works in TV is spending 40 years trying to get people to buy shit they probably don't need. Although I wouldn't desire to build a business which monetizes primarily on selling ads it does a disservice to folk at FB and google suggesting that this is what they do or what motivates their behavior.
