Of course advertising creates value. It connects buyers and sellers. It generates demand for products that are built and created by other people. You can disdain advertising all you want, but occasionally an ad connects with you and presents you with what you're looking for. In aggregate, that has tremendous value.
- wooque 4y agoAdvertising would create value if it would only serve to connect buyers and sellers, but instead modern advertising serves to "generate demand", as you mentioned. That means making you, artificially, usually using emotions and psychological tricks, spend money on something that you wouldn't and shouldn't spend money. We can thank Edward Bernays for single-handledly ruining the world.
