Good point, ads can be really useful. For me, the question is how much we are exposed to it, in which context, and the transparency about things being ads.
Examples:
- Obvious ads vs. sneaky product placements
- There should be spaces/times without ads allowed
Another thing that makes me wonder is big know companies (soda for example) constantly making ads. This is not the case of "Hey we made something new" as literally everybody knows the product for years. This constant cognitive exposure has some similarities to propaganda. We are not allowed to forget them.
> But there is a space for advertising that is gentler, honest and educational.
This pretty much sums it up really good.
