Yes, advertising is not something that directly helps cure cancer.
But it is nothing but ignorant to downplay important role it plays in the economy.
Many people use knives to kill, others make food with them.
Yet knives are not even neutral - it is a major and valuable invention of a mankind.

It remains a bottle for attention but the amplitude of advertising is almost irrelevant. If we had less advertising tomorrow, no pop-ups, no billboards, no flyers and so on, very little would directly change and consumption would barely be affected. And as I hinted at, there are of course different levels of advertising. If it consumes private information of its targets, it becomes a net loss for society and economy. More or less the reality that OP doesn't want to be part of anymore and I believe it is for good reason and I wish him luck. That doesn't mean I don't like our advertising department or believe it is superfluous.
