    Some level of advertising is a necessary evil when you’re in a capitalist system because otherwise people have no way to get their products out ti the market. There’s a balance to be struck.

    Hell even in other systems advertising is still important for finding out about cool new things even if money no longer exists

      Word of mouth is the most powerful type of advertisement that no one is against.

        We all know if every other way of advertising was banned, they’d start paying (or “incentivizing”) millions of people to “do word of mouth” for them.

        And then we’ll have those people polluting every online space with unlabeled ads. No thank you.
