Using the term marketing scum is a bit pejorative, I hope we can agree on that :-) Let's avoid emotionally-loaded terms when having rational discourse - I suggest tabooing that term.

Regardless of the term used, yes, I am a dedicated consequentialist, and my goal is to get people to care about effective giving, to avoid leaving huge sums on the table.

I'd be happy to taboo that as well, if you'd like ;-)
