    Even advertising isn’t necessarily bad, having people telling you about things you might like used to be a good thing.

    I personally think it’s people like Edward Bernays who had the idea of, I guess, ‘Malicious Advertising’. They really solidified the idea of applying propaganda techniques to advertising strategies and that just kind of become expected and the norm.
