Bad dog!
I understand that there is a need to demo new products, but have you lived under a rock?
What you say I wouldn't mind. I wouldn't mind there being a website showcasing new products, or where I can type a problem and I get a list of products that will solve said problem. That, however, is not how marketing works.
Ads can roughly be cut into two types.
Scams / bullshit new revolutionaey products that won't do as advertised
Companies blaring on about how their 5 decades old product somehow still is revolutionary and the best
Pretty much ALL marketing campaigns lie, either directly or by multiple omissions. They ALWAYS need to be intrusive, and it's always about money.
Fuck the environment, fuck your health, fuck your safety, I have a fucking monster pickup truck to sell! LOOK HOW COOL IT IS!
I HATE ads, with a passion and all marketers on the bottom of the ocean would be a good start on making the world a better place
