[QUOTE="Zeno Marx, post: 541021, member: 1211"] Not to hijack the thread further, but when I was first getting into podcasts, I remember this new caster talking about their previous work. One of their previous jobs was working for a huge firm to do public relations on the web for businesses. The main job in that process was to flood the internet with reviews. Every bit as disturbing [to me] was that this seemed normal/OK to these twenty-somethings. It wasn't a buyer beware type of thing. Or that it was a paying job and a person has to do what a person has to do. It was so normalized in their generation that it was part of being marketed 24/7. I'm not describing it well, but I can tell you that they had no shame in it being their job or insofar as being on the other side of it as a consumer. Not necessarily limited to pragmatism either. There was zero moral/ethical conundrum in this work for them. I don't know about you, but that scares me. It was disturbing to listen to them. And I also got the vibe that it was taught at some point in their college education in business school, which was another reason I think they thought it wasn't unethical. [/QUOTE]
