MODERATORS
Always is a heck of a long time. Decades ago when ads on websites slowly became popular it was just ads. But no personalized targeting.
Extremely common practice does not make it good nor does it make it a good reason to normalize or ignore these things. For example exploitation in labor and in housing is also extremely common practice. No reason to make exploitation on the Internet seem like a fair game and expand it further. Sustainability should be a key word here in my point of view.
