Total disagree. New trends, improvements communicate itself one or the other way.
If I want a new X, I'd rather research on my own, best are objective tests, or worse then selective advertisements I choose to view.
Even non-aggressive mild advertisements that just try to snatch my attention involuntarily are just not needed and a pain. The world could be much better without that crap.
I don't buy the argument that advertisements were necessary for manufacutring at scale, any source?

Erm wtf what, no, just no, leave me alone please. I want to find you in a dedicated magazine / tests / reviews if your something is something I currently want, otherwise this attention grab is hostile.
- 1123581321 4y agoYou’re just negotiating who pays for searching and communication. You want to pay someone (a magazine or review site) to gather the data for you from the companies. Other people want the companies to pay so they get the information for free. There’s a qualitative argument there as well, and whether to value not having to pay for ad-supported publications and services, but that’s essentially the question in the preference for or against advertising: who pays and who gets paid to make the right buyers and sellers aware of each other.
