Can there be such a thing as ethical advertising? If one finds themselves needing a product, all that is required is to visit their preferred vendor, whether online or in meatspace. If I need information about products, I know where to go. Never once have I been directly influenced by advertising to buy a product. If I have been indirectly influenced by advertising (as surely we all have) then, in my opinion, that is a violation of my consciousness. Marketing is predatory by its nature, and I find this to be a very silly debate. Why are we beating around the bush here?
