From violations of privacy, to the mainpulation or even maliciousness at its core, I think marketing at it’s current state is poison to society. But I also think it might be a necessary evil. What would be a good alternative implementation of advertising look like? Or do we even need it? If the former, how would advertising look in a non-capitalist society?

    I personally hate advertising. Most companies that advertise are more expensive due to the cost of advertising being built into their prices.

    I believe the metrics are made up to make companies think they’re making money by spending money on it.
