It's still very much people being profited off of and exploited no matter how you slice or perceive it, yay capitilism. I get the advertising and marketing side of it, absolutely..
But at the end of the day I still feel it's petty bullshit cooked up with the sole intention of attracting whale votes using others sex appeal.
Welcome to humanity, klye!
Life is give and take. The way I see it, if both parties of a "transaction" get what they want out of it, without stepping on the (human) rights of others, it's an all out win.
Whether or not a third party perceives some exploitation in the deal, well, that's for them to exhaust over. The world keeps spinning, regardless.
