    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.

      How do you expect people to find out about new businesses? Especially ones without a brick and mortar storefront.

                  They’re not the only kind of business, which is why it’s weird that you’re so focused on them.

                    It’s a really accessible concept and one of the most common small business types in the country, plus most of my suggestions that apply to it are largely applicable to many other types of small businesses. Seemed a better argument than a lecture-length fully generalizable concept of “getting a new business going without paying assholes to shove it in my face”.
