I understand what you mean, but I have a natural aversion to blaming the messenger. We're all personally responsible for what we say and do.

The messengers in question decide which messages you see and tailor their deliveries to the one which will increase your outrage because that’s what keeps you asking for more. All so they can keep slipping in a few more adverts others pay for.
These messengers aren’t neutral, thus not exempt from blame.
