“without it, we would have to pay out of pocket for ad supported services!”
ok but when a company pays for advertising, where are they getting that money from? an added cost on the products we’re buying! so we’re paying for product A, we’re paying extra for product A to pay for product B with advertising spending AND we’re funding product A’s marketing department to make the ads on top of that
remove the advertising and we would pay less for product A, we could then afford to pay for B directly AND we would all pay less overall because we take ad department employees and costs out of the equation. we’re literally all paying more for everything overall by having some things “free with ads” than if we just paid for everything in the first place with no ads
I’m more with the opposite view: Advertising, which is manipulating people into buying your product, IS inherently a bad thing. Although some cases may be legitimate.
Listen, brown, light green, red, and pink paid for advertising and that matters much more than your search query
Maybe I’m bad at colors
Destroy the advertising industry. Burn it alllll down

Advertising isn’t an inherently bad thing; it’s just gotten way out of control.

How do you expect people to find out about new businesses? Especially ones without a brick and mortar storefront.
They put a sign on the building that says “Now Open”, put the building on the maps, and invite local food critics in for a review.
Read my second sentence
A restaurant without a storefront is just a ghost kitchen.
I’m not sure why you’re focusing on restaurants. I said businesses.
