This why there are no billionaire philosophers. Every argument he made about advertising i can make about his article, and about every interaction he had in his entire life with everyone he ever met. Just because economics are in play with advertising doesnt mean that everything and everyone else in the world shouldnt be held to the same standards. Contrary to what this article claims...people do value their attention and are very particular and careful with how they allocate it. Good marketers also know how valuable peoples attention is and are careful to respect it...hence the rise of content marketing and value add advertising. The argument that consumers dont give media permission to sell their attention is false. You can always change the channel, click away, drive a different route, and stop using an app. You make choices about how you allocate your attention and you accept the costs associated with it by allocating your attention to that media.
