    That’s my favorite kind of product, which doesn’t need ads, because it just does the thing you want for a reasonable price, a.k.a. commodity goods.

      I’d argue no product needs ads, just unbiased reviews. Ads just add bias to whatever company has the better marketing team, not necessarily the best product.

        Well, the products themselves might need it. Some of that garbage would not sell without an ad campaign. But yeah, for consumers, they’re typically more misleading than informative, unless it is an ad for a commodity.
