The only ethical advertising is a factual text description and a price. Computer Shopper magazine used to be full of this.
Any more advanced advertising is specifically designed to undermine human rationality. It's an act of aggression similar to forcibly drugging people.
- JulianMorrison 11y agoI'd expand the scope of "good advertising" to any and all factual non-manipulative details about the product - pictures, features, tradeoff decisions made, intended use, impartial ratings, and so on.
- mokus 11y agoA thousand times this. If you want revenue for my view, ask me for some money. I'm happy to pay for content that is useful or entertaining, so give me the chance. But name your price in terms of some currency. My eyes, my choices, and my browsing habits are not for sale, and that's not negotiable.
