I don't have actual stats of course but intuitively if you tally:
- All the FAANG/FAANG suppliers
- All startups or established projects that involve data gathering, advertising, SEO, skinner boxes, dopamine response, parasocial relationship manipulation, optimizing time spent on controlled platforms and products
- All projects that facilitate the above as suppliers or second-order businesses
- All gig economy/surveilled/taylorized work facilitators
- All coding work that involves ranking and surveilling people for life altering services such as loans, insurance, healthcare
- All coding work done to optimize the wealth of the noble class (themselves the main beneficiaries of surveillance)
...there's probably not much left. Even if you maintain a strict definition and include only direct adtech shenanigans I wouldn't be surprised if that were a huge number in and of itself.
