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.

    Advertising is just propaganda for corporations. Like others have said, once the profit motive is gone, the only reason for advertising will be stuff like awareness campaigns where it actually benefits people to know the information provided.
