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.

    It's basically going to be adblock irl. Assata Shakur was surprised when fleeing to Cuba how beans would be sold in nondescript brown bags with the word "beans" written on them. The closest thing to ads would be PSA notices of upcoming cultural events or how long a museum exhibit would last, but I wouldn't consider them ads.
