So many assumptions in one short sentence.

Why do you think CPM-people pay him? He might as well work in a company that does not rely on marketing/advertising industry. Those do exist.

Even if he was paid by CPM-people - so what? A lot of people work for money, not because they like their employers or share same views.

The "you" he's referring to is Pinterest, not the commenter.

Don't quite see the issue. If Pinterest cares about what kind of advertising to show. If they are interested in a quality curated advertising that fits the content of the website instead of mindless ads where you only care about CPM - I'd say great for them and for their users.

It is a commenter that said: "F#ck the CPM sales "community", focus on the product.". Don't see where is he trying to portray the words as if they were coming from Pinterest.
