Red Hats and Nike's are coming back in style.
You are absolutely right. It's the problem of monopolizing message distribution and those companies need to be nationalized. There is no other platform to reach the masses without buying into the game. All we have for now.

I would say it it's a grey area depending on what it is used for. Putting up an ad for Bloomberg and putting up an ad for a non-profit women's shelter are two very different things.
I would suggest looking into digital marketing at a small agency. You could probably still make 40-60k and get to work with chill people. If you take a Udemy class or two and learn the basics of PPC/SEO/Facebook Ads I bet your programming experience will get your foot in the door for an interview. The agency that I work at does marketing for small businesses like restaurants, plumbers, HVAC technicians etc. so I never quite feel like I am contributing to ghoulish corporate shit bags' wallets. It is a fun industry and not as soul crushing as dev work (for me at least). Plus you can take what you learn and create leftist propaganda when the revolution comes.

I am the NBA logo representing the radical leftists.
