This was legit the best scene in the entire movie. This one scene made everyone at least somewhat compassionate towards Thanos for a few reasons.
This scene establishes a very important thing; that Thanos wasn't willing to murder even if it meant something good. One of the most important things about a villian isn't what he will do but rather what he will NOT do.
We also get the tension built from the sacrifice, you know what I'm talking about, that tells us that this is something he doesn't want to do and almost isn't willing to do. But he still does it because he said he couldn't make the same mistake as before showing us character growth.
Finally, we get the release of tension from seeing him cry about it which accents his unwillingness to do it. Later in the end of the movie, when she asks "What did it cost?", he replies "Everything" which cements the idea that she was the only person he ever allowed himself to love - she was his everything.

The meme is cool and all but seeing Thanos in one is the closest I've gotten to questioning the ad's text.
I mean, damn, maybe believe in something good at least lol
He believes that he is doing the good thing. Others may see it otherwise, but he has life experience which is what leads him to believe that all the others are wrong.
