How exactly do you define advertising? An overly broad definition would forbid, for example, a dentist from putting a sign in front of their office saying they're a dentist.

Let’s ban all persuasive advertising! No reason not to let people make a list of features or something, like a notification, but that’s it.

There were ads in ancient Rome, just to show how deep the rot goes.

It's necessary for monopoly capitalism to induce demand. It's part of the planned economy.

Those who take issue with loss of profits without ads must take it up with big tech. They've have literal trillions of dollars from dominating the ad industry. They have your money. Nobody else.

Advertising is too big of an industry to ever be banned. It also keeps lots of other sectors on life support, like sports and free online content. It's also extremely important to keep services like search engines free. Unless we transition away from capitalism ads are pretty much mandatory to keep the economy afloat. I agree they suck though. uBlock Origin until I die.

I am kinda for it, but kinda against it because I like this 35% off coupon for weed in the bay area I get in the local ad magazine. I save so much fucking money with that coupon I love it

Sure it should og course be legal to provide information, but banning ads is fine by me!

I'd support a ban on advertising in public spaces, but in digital spaces its a bit nonsense given it funds a lot of things people then dont need to pay for.

all business would fail.

Guys, you wouldn’t find anything good if it wasn’t for good marketing you all got the attention span of a gold fish.
