The advertisers are the reason why many of these jobs existed in the first place. Developers don't run off of hot air and exposure.

Then it’s probably just the time to fire all of them.

I work for an ad arb business. We don’t collect user-identifiable data and still make loads of money.

Your point of view would seem to justify child trafficking if that would pay the bills for most of the people in the industry.
