So, assuming socialism/communism is achieved, how does advertising look to you?

The role is reduced from profit motive to informational - but won't there be a level of personal pride at stake in some cases?

What about all the attention grabby colourful bullshit with a billion cuts? Or the adverts that have a sort of narrative involved? Shouldn't all of this stuff be redundant under socialism?

Curious to know your thoughts on the general ideas of it, because I can't seem to unwrap it.
