Even by CEO standards, why would you state that out loud?
He's so out of touch that he believes their users are going to be excited by this.
The personal integrity of others is a concept completely lost on this person, it seems.
If you have no integrity yourself, it's hard to understand that others do.
the main goal of tech startups is to get take investors money and run away, so of course their rhetoric is aimed to investors.

Maybe he's really drank the kool aid and ACTUALLY thinks people want ads and no privacy. Which then, as an investor, might actually be a giant red flag that he's a complete imbecile.
Obviously, but it's still not something you want getting out. Like you'd tell your clients at a vendor dinner but wouldn't put it in an email or video conference.
You are just mistaken about this. They have surveys showing 76% of people say they want personalized ("relevant") ads. Companies think this is something almost everyone wants.
