The fact that unsolicited ads predate television and radio is why I despise marketing so much I won't even shill my own art projects without shame. I don't care anymore what service I'm taking from you, if it's worth anything I will subscribe and if its not I will use FOSS because I will look for you, not the other way around.
And if the only option is a service funded through ads, don't be surprised when I dump your abusive asses the moment a replacement comes around, like I did when I moved from Google Earth Pro to uMap, or Reddit to Lemmy.
Advertising (and capitalism in general).
Advertising is pollution of our soul

brilliantly put, love it!!
Seriously.
Marketing is nothing more than convincing people to buy stuff they do not need.
It is the reason we live in a consumer culture that is fucking up the planet with useless trash.
