I feel like advertising was always a scam.
I don't think it really helps the small entities reach an audience, and it only allows the largest companies to remind everyone they are the biggest.
I'm not sure there are thorough studies that show advertising increase sales.
- paulryanrogers 5y agoWord of mouth is usually the most trustworthy. Yet people need to learn of alternatives from somewhere. Perhaps if those serving ads were more liable, much like friends risking their reputation to recommend something, the negatives of ads could be better mitigated.
