From violations of privacy, to the mainpulation or even maliciousness at its core, I think marketing at it's current state is poison to society. But I also think it might be a necessary evil. What would be a good alternative implementation of advertising look like? Or do we even need it? If the former, how would advertising look in a non-capitalist society?

Isn't the price advertisers pay driven completely by the intermediaries (google and such) and advertising costs could continue to grow? Can't content producers unite (unionize) and get their piece?

I'm 100% against ads. I pay to not see them. I think advertisers would pay 10x for ๐Ÿ‘€ compared to what they currently pay.
