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

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.
