If you don't mind sharing, where did you grow up? Was it a political influence that resulted in the lack of ads? Was everything state-run as a result?

  Just an educated guess but it is most likely Cuba. [0] [0] https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/03/how-do-cubans-do-business-in-a-country-that-bans-ads/474507/ https://www.theatlantic.com/business/archive/2016/03/how-do-...

    Well then the OP ignores the biggest advertiser of them all: the communist party.

      Most of that CP did, at least where I grew up, was not advertisement but slogans. Like "in God we trust" in US. Nobody really takes it as an ad for God.

        > Nobody really takes it as an ad for God. Are you sure? Seems like the right-wing evangelicals of the US definitely do.

          Could you quote a couple of them saying so? Because it doesn't match what I know about evangelicals, they don't exactly consider God something you can buy.

            I didn't mean it as a literal object you could buy.
