I don't get the "well technically advertising can be good" argument in its favor, yet it's the most common one I see on this site.
If 5% is good (I'm being very generous) and "seeks to inform individuals of potential sources of value to them", that's still 95% manipulative, deceptive crap.
- sanedigital 5y agoThe inconvenient truth for the anti-advertising crowd is that modern digital advertising is one of the most democratizing forces in business history. I can develop an offer in minutes and spend less than $20 to get *thousands* of eyeballs on that offer by the end of the day. I don't need a $100K marketing budget, I don't need representation on Madison Avenue, I don't need to hire a sales force to make cold calls. For small businesses, that power is revolutionary.
