> The reality is we need advertising to enable discoverability no we don't. i live a near advertisement free life, and its great. no radio or tv, block all internet ads. the one ads i see are the ones in the physical world like billboards. never once has an ad been the reason i "discovered" something, and i discover all sorts of new products/services naturally in my life. if anything ads make actually make it so hard because they never can be trusted, often full of lies, and wading through all that to find the truth can be hard and is often why i don't actually go out and buy a new product cataogry.
