I don’t know if I would be able to work for Meta, or Amazon or something like that. While the reality is that I’m just working class who needs a salary, I cannot see myself in a position that I’m afraid to criticize the companies that are shaping US politics in such an opposite way from everything I believe. Yes ad agencies (and the clients) are also terrible but it is not openly close to government like this. They were front row. The most prominent people in the inauguration.

Advertising has always been working class, not middle class. Soon it will be mostly AI class as AI Agents end most consumer exposure to visual messaging.

I’m ex-advertising, now on the tech side. I love remembering how holier-than-thou I used to be—like all of you sound right now. There’s no moral absolutism when you work in corporate America. The holding companies, advertising agencies, and clients we worked for are the same people either on stage at events like inaugurations, publicly cozying up to the government, or behind the scenes manipulating policy at local, state, national, or even international levels.

I turned down 2 offers from those tech giants over the past 3 years and always had chosen agencies in stead, design, brand or advertising, but truth is I suffer from insecurity and anxiety deep inside for how unstable our industry is, the nature of client service works and sometimes very toxic people I encounter. its not even about the better pay on the other side, but how agencies never make people feel safe I guess...

The answer is in the mirror. Why are all those very successful people on that stage ? Maybe the problem is your politics and letting that identity get in the way of a career. You’re bothered, they and 76,000,0000 other people aren’t.

Ah yes, dropping my standards will make me a billionaire… yes.

the correlation between career success and embracing right wing is not really what you think. The wealthiest areas in the Us vote blue for instance.

Every single one of trump front row billionaires were democrat leaning in the past. The reason they change sides is not slightly related to ideology.

I used to care about and chase the opportunity to produce cool/fun/funny work. But, as of the last couple years..it’s just more about stability, keeping working relationships happy, building finances, i.e. it’s just a job. Not about pushing for the most fun creative ideas—I still do that—I just don’t care enough to fight as much if they don’t get it. Definitely still feel genuinely defeated when truly awesome concepts get glossed over by a client who has no clue what they want.
