Gigan@lemmy.worldto Ask Lemmy@lemmy.world•Why do we hate commercials and advertisements?5·2 years agoI had a shower thought the other day; what would the world be like if advertising didn’t exist?
No billboards or giant signs everywhere blocking our views. Content would be better because it wouldn’t be interrupted by commercials. But think of how much money is spent on advertising? Companies would have to invest that into other areas to be successful instead, such as cheaper and/or better quality products, or higher wages for their workers. Companies would have to work really hard to get a good reputation so their products could spread through word of mouth instead of using advertising to invade everyone’s space.
I’m sure there’s some downsides, but it sounds kind of amazing.
