Advertisements don't have to be garbage.

They could provide an enrichment incentive along with product awareness they are promoting. Whatever your justification, I just don't see 'forcing' people to consume trash to consume content they may enjoy or might actually need to be a terrible idea in the long term. YouTube provides content from all genres, many of them educational.

More then this, there's no standard of comparison for the claims made in any of the ads except to make them politically and socially sensitive. Modern advertisement typically follows 'Donald Trumps Motto' of 'Sell the package, not the product' and America is trying to indite the dude.

You ruin the free market system by diluting the quality of information provided to the consumer that they use to make decisions. Its brand marketing now, forming trust over clever packaging tricks instead of honest, transparent, and clear reasons about the product. We don't need to make good products anymore, we just need people to think they are good products... And those are two very different goals.

Just wondering if I'm alone in how I think and wanted to get some of my thoughts out about this to see if people agreed or disagreed.
