The impact of ads on agency & autonomy is a highly important and understudied topic, but I think that's a simpler characterisation than the topic deserves. If I show my ad to the whole population and convince 10% is that more ethical than showing it to just those 10%?

I'm not saying this in defence of BT, which is fraught for other reasons, I think that the ethics of influence deserve more.
