Based on my reading of the article and raganwald's comment below, my understanding is he's blaming talented employees or entrepreneurs who choose to use their skills to create low-value (in societal terms, not monetary) products and services. And it seems he's not so much blaming as bemoaning.

The post struck a chord with me because I am evaluating several employment offers. The one that gives me the opportunity to work with the coolest technologies and receive the highest compensation would leave me feeling the ickiest at some level (it involves mobile ad analytics).

Without mobile ad analytics, prices are inefficient and therefore ads are biased to the most profitable buyers, not the highest quality.

Do you have any reason to suspect that quality is more profitable?
