I think the vast majority of my altruistic impact is through donations, I don’t think my work in advertising is something harmful to offset.
I agree, but I think what you are doing is a fairly noncentral example of “working in advertising”. You are helping to add good constraints on a probably-bad process.
I’m not working on adding constraints, I’m working on adapting advertising to constraints proposed by browsers (primarily Chrome). Perhaps this is the same, since if advertising could not be adapted to the constraints you might end up with weaker constraints, but I do want to clarify that I’m on the ads side not the browser side.
