I do not get the sentiment of so many people on here that all advertising and marketing is bad.

It’s simply not true.

(And yes, like with anything else humans do, some of it is bad.)

@thomasfuchs The presentations themselves can be as creative and wonderful as any other human art -- which becomes toxic when forced on ppl and at scale. All non-consensual (incl coerced) ads and marketing are bad. Let ppl ASK to be informed about THINGS MANY OF THEM WILL WANT TO BUY! Opt-in showcases are the way.
