Kellyn Delgado<p>I hate all kinds of <a href="https://social.gattai.net/tags/advertising" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>advertising</span></a>. <a href="https://social.gattai.net/tags/marketing" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>Marketing</span></a> is fine, because it is about building a relationship with your customers or clients. But Ads are simply selling people's attention. If Ads of any form are the primary way you make money, you are not in the industry you say you are. You're in the attention selling industry at best and a <a href="https://social.gattai.net/tags/surveillancecapitalist" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>SurveillanceCapitalist</span></a> at worst. Advertising always ends up in the selling of people's data. If that's you, you need to find another industry if you care about <a href="https://social.gattai.net/tags/ethics" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener noreferrer" target="_blank">#<span>ethics</span></a></p>
