If we abolish all advertising except word-of-mouth, companies will have to excel at what they do to survive...
(A good example is the expensive, maybe the most expensive vodka, which tastes worse than most other vodkas. The creator put more care into the bottle than the drink, and sold his company ten years after creating it, making a ten-million-dollar profit, according to his goal. He would've kept it if he loved it.)

We would save humanity from a world of trouble by prohibiting all but word-of-mouth advertising.
