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.

    They’re not “millions” right now. Imagine every single dollar they currently spend for different types of advertising, all used as budget for astroturfing. It would turn every online space into bots talking to themselves and nothing else.
