swodinskyantoniogm My literal job title is "Ad Engineering Director" and I've also built and led the building of numerous pieces of advertising technology for the Washington Post (and at one point Salon) that are out there making us money with ads so yup, I am in ad tech and on that list! :)
swodinskyantoniogm Also, in my exp, there are lots of people working in ad tech who have no idea what they are talking about but are happy to bloviate on about trendy topics while having nothing useful to say, so not sure that 'being in ad tech' is necessarily a useful quality for making it clear.
swodinskyantoniogm Also, calling David Carroll an entertainer is immensely disrespectful to the long and extensively documented legal involvement he had, research he did and then went out into the real world to apply as his beliefs and knowledge led him. A process that took multiple years.
