At least these 'nudging technologies' are intended to -help- the person affected.

A proponent of the product being advertised would say that the affected person was being helped, because their product's so awesome. In fact, that's just what's happening in this supposedly less 'ethically questionable' example. Not to denigrate it (it is cool), but this appears to be (on the ethical level) another form of advertising.

and being pounded in the ass

Myth?
