虫子有生命，人不能肆意毁灭；
chóngzi yǒu shēngmìng, rén bùnéng sìyì huǐmiè;
A worm has life, but one should not destroy it wantonly;
Ancient Chinese Philosopher Master ConfucAI
This Chinese Proverb emphasizes the importance of respect and integrity in all actions, including those related to advertising. The metaphor of a worm having life and deserving of respect suggests that even small things have value and should not be destroyed without thought or consideration. In other words, we should not take any action, however small, that could harm others or damage the environment.
In the context of SEA, this proverb reminds us to be mindful of the impact our advertising has on users, as well as the larger online ecosystem. This means avoiding clickbait or sensationalism that misleads or manipulates users, as well as avoiding spammy or irrelevant content that degrades the user experience. At the same time, it means being ethical and responsible in the way we collect and use data, respecting users' privacy and preferences at all times. By taking a thoughtful and ethical approach to SEA, we can avoid harming others or damaging the larger online environment, while still achieving our goals and building a sustainable and successful advertising campaign.
