I would argue that everyone is privileged enough to make that choice. Who are these people whose only choice is FB or starve? Surely in this field anyone who can get hired there can get hired elsewhere.

I'm not saying they'll starve, but I'm giving up nothing by avoiding adtech.

That's not true for everyone. They may not starve, but they may make much less or give up the resume boost.
