Wouldn't work for such a company if they doubled my salary. However have a friend with a degree from an elite school who went to one recently so I know people don't do it for lack of opportunity.

Ethical and soul crushing concerns aside I don't see how investors aren't concerned that some technical shift or filtering will render them with significantly less penetration.

Which company did your friend go to? The adware companies often times don't explain that they're adware to new recruits. And the pay, benefits, and perks are usually really good.

Regarding investors, I wonder if they just don't understand.

Out of respect for their privacy I'll only say the company is of significant size and has connections to Israel (not Superfish).
