Selling cigarettes works. Selling cigarettes to children works. Come to think of it, putting children to work in factories works. Dumping pollution in drinking water sources works.

Lots of things work. Of course "Finance People" are supposed to say no, because they are finance PEOPLE, not finance algorithms.



> Selling cigarettes to children works.

No, it doesn't work at all. That's illegal.

>Come to think of it, putting children to work in factories works. Dumping pollution in drinking water sources works.

Nope. That's illegal too..

>Lots of things work.

If you're making a list of things that are illegal, you're going to need a bigger comment box.

There is no need to needlessly take things to the extreme when it was very obvious that what we're talking about is in no way shape or form comparable to exploiting children.


They weren't always illegal.


Precisely. Thank you.


Okay?

Comparing click-bait ads to child exploitation still makes no sense. It is incredibly insensitive to draw any kind of analogy between the two.
