I’m ok with it if they were targeting vulnerable teens with ads for how to improve their lives…but somehow I doubt that’s what happened.

Targeting vulnerable people based on metadata with any form of commercial intent, is morally and ethically highly questionable! A vulnerable person is by definition extremely susceptible to exploitation. Assuming that companies are gonna act out of philanthropy and goodness of their hearts seems a bit naiive.
