  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.
