Just for posterity: that's not my view, but that is the exact view of visionary sv asshole ceos (note: not of the good ceos, just the jerk ceos).

In their eyes, you only exist as "traffic" for them to exploit. You are not an individual. You have no life. You are a finger attached to a pointing device attached to a credit card.

Their goal in life is to divert Internet traffic to their own sites by any means necessary to increase their own traffic numbers (views, hits, sessions, clicks, impressions, ...) thereby increasing their own perceived worth so they can spout their vanity asshole metrics off to boards/investors/audiences.

[Note: I may be bitter about jerks exploiting the world raking in more success/money/exposure than non-exploiting builders.]
