I'll bite. Here's a question I saw in a thread about lenovo/superfish (can't find it now), followed by some of my own:

What's it like building software that literally no one wants on their computer?

Is that last question wrong, and are there actually people that truly, unequivocally enjoy adware?

Is there a reality-distortion-field where some people building such software actually believe that they're making things that most people want?

Are meetings/discussions about building the adware ever openly malevolent towards users? Or is it always "just business"?
