  The cynical response is probably that all tech is either ad tech, uses ad tech or builds things used by ad tech. You don't really need ad tech to make that statement about selling out those beneath you applicable for most tech though. Work on self-driving cars? Good bye to people earning money driving cars. Yes, you can rationalize that by saying "no, we're just automating what can be automated to free human productivity and make sure their capacity isn't wasted on these trivial tasks", but this isn't Star Trek and they won't be freed from driving cars, they'll be out of a job. Yes, there are exceptions, but yes, they are exceptions.
