Is there an alternative to predatory advertising?
Comment on Little quick question: what do you think of advertising from a Marxist perspective?

This question leads me to another one: Where is the line between informative and predatory?
If I truly need something and I don’t know it exists and is available, then some advertising would be beneficial to my life, but we’ve all seen what that turned into and what a trainwreck modern advertising has become.
Is there a “good” amount of advertisement, and how could one prevent that from becoming the cesspool we have today?

Starting a business and hanging a sign outside your location is a form of advertising, but I would say it’s more useful than predatory.

Sounds more like improving search and providing high quality information resources could eliminate the need for advertising altogether.
