Yes, this is how I feel about marketing in the 21st century as well. Most pointedly that lies and psychological manipulation have become the status quo. Unfortunately there are so many products and so much information available that it's difficult (impossible?) to actually discern the good products from the bad. As well as to discern the value of good products. Lying and manipulation as marketing aren't exactly new, but it's more pervasive, to the point that it seems impossible to succeed without stretching the truth of your capabilities. Everybody else is doing it after all, and there is no penalty. By the time your customers find out you screwed them, they've already paid for your product twice and told their friends it was 5/5 would buy again.
