It's the state of advertising tbh. If ads were still of the "Look, here's a cool product" variety, or even the "Look, here's people happily using a cool product" kind then the world would probably be a better place. Even targeting isn't so bad, when it's broad like "We want businesses to know about our B2B product."
The evil in modern advertising is the overly specific targeting, the lying, the psychological tricks, and the way they seem to invade every possible space.
Psych tricks were there since Bernays "torches of freedom" to sucker women into nicotine addiction like the men.
This I agree with
