When I talk to anyone who starts raging about ethics of advertising, I often ask: are you talking about deontological or consequentialist ethics? Because that changes everything.
Also, do you not understand that entities buying and selling advertising are currently in a Nash equilibrium and no amount of internet whining will change that.

Mostly consequentialist. Such should be evident from what I wrote above and in the linked comment. Even if I were to grant your point about a Nash equilibrium (you fail to convince, but succeed to condescend), buyers and sellers of advertising are not the only players involved. You also beg the question by assuming everyone is driven purely by self-interest.
