Given that the parent comment literally stated that they worked in adtech, this is not "begging the question" in the way that you're implying.

You might disagree with the assertion that adtech is immoral, but that's a difference of opinion, not evidence of a logical fallacy.

It gets old linking to the HN comment guidelines whenever one user goes at another user in a direct and personal way. Loaded accusations are exactly that, not questions being begged, nor logical fallacy or mere differences of opinion.

Ergo sometimes I opt for not just quoting and linking to

That's a fair criticism; it's just not the same one you initially gave. I can understand being frustrated having to link the guidelines, but like, that's what they're there for!
