What really makes me sad is that some presumably quite talented engineer spent time thinking this up and coding it.
As I see this, it allows businesses to connect with more people, therefore being more profitable, therefore making economy grow in general.
I just don't understand this hate towards developers who work for companies like FB and Google and whose job is focusing on increasing ad engagement. In my opinion, they definitely provide a hugely positive effect on economy (unless you think capitalism / consumerism is evil / wrong or whatever, which is another topic).
Does working on anti-ad-blocking seem like that to you?
To me, if I was promised "the most meaningful work of my career" then I was assigned to anti-ad-blocking I wouldn't feel my Facebook career was delivering on that promise.

Then you could easily just quit.
