> it seems that the distinction between personal, professional, commercial and non-commercial are becoming increasingly meaningless -- and that's not a bad thing.
Yes it is. It is, because it means that everything is becoming commercial. And that's a bad thing.
We need to have some space in our lives - and some space on the internet - that is not dedicated to dog-eat-dog scratching for a living.
We need space and time in our ives to do things simply because we love them, not so they can be monetized.
The conversion of everything on the web - or anywhere - into a commercial good is a sympton of a society that has collapsed in on itself, not one that is healthy and vigorous.

The simple little causal picture depicted in the quote isn't how advertising works - and nobody thinks it does, except for people who wish to make statements contrary to the obvious.
