It's fascinating that "advertisement" is effectively the large-scale way of manipulating as many people as possible into something that they wouldn't otherwise want, all backed by big money.
Consider that the primary worth of big tech companies like Google and Meta is effectively their potential to advertise, and these companies are the most highly rated stocks in the world. That shows you how much money can be extracted by professionally manipulating people, and how big of a deal this really is.
Advertisement must be recognized as something that hurts the people, and must be shunned.
