I know one example of advertising that I liked: the creators of Penny Arcade had only advertisements for computer games that they liked. And they made those ads in the same art style as their own comic.
Advertisements are good when they’re an honest endorsement. Any others are inherently deceptive and often invasive.

Some level of advertising is a necessary evil when you’re in a capitalist system because otherwise people have no way to get their products out ti the market. There’s a balance to be struck.
Hell even in other systems advertising is still important for finding out about cool new things even if money no longer exists

If money doesn’t exist how do you pay for the ads?

With poetry, or perhaps a little dance. Dance 🕺

Word of mouth is the most powerful type of advertisement that no one is against.

We all know if every other way of advertising was bad, they’d start paying (or “incentivizing”) millions of people to “do word of mouth” for them.
And then we’ll have them pollute every online space with unlabeled ads. No thank you.
