hell, look at Facebook and Google, both advertising companies and I'd argue two of the biggest and most entrenched.
- stickfigure 5y agoOrganic meme spread is extremely random and unpredictable. Yes, rich people (and conglomerations of not-so-rich people) have better access to advertising. So what? Facebook and Google are just mediums, like "television" in the abstract. The social value of advertising comes from the people doing the advertising. Like everything, some of it's crap and some of it's great.
