By creating a new innovative way to deliver ads to consumers.

- majewsky 8y agoEconomy has functioned by word-of-mouth for millennia. Ads as an industry are relatively new (maybe 300 years). (Sure, word-of-mouth is a form of advertisement, but OP clearly refers to the ad industry, so I'm going with that meaning.)

- gtt 8y agoThose millennia world was mostly in Malthusian trap.
- majewsky 8y agoI agree wholeheartedly. My guess would be one of: - reverse causation fallacy: People who change the world (scientists, big entrepreneurs, politicians) often work a lot of overtime. Since I work overtime, I must be changing the world. - cognitive dissonance: Surely I wouldn't be working overtime if my work weren't important!
