For what it’s worth, I didn’t take you to be asserting that the people behind the ads are shitty people (either unconditionally or conditional on your conjecture about their motives being correct).
Thanks for the feedback. To be clear, I didn’t mean that I inferred that you took it that way, just that after I finished writing I realized I was doing the “pretty critical of people for doing very normal things” thing, and that it often comes off that way if I’m not careful to credibly disclaim that interpretation.
