I thought advertising, by definition, serves the advertiser? What am I missing here?
It's shiny! Me wants!
LOL!!
when it's done right, it informs the audience of things that they might not know about otherwise; ideally things they want to know about, such as services or goods that are relevant to their lives.
amazing. if you're right, i can't see any reason for you to get so uppitty about google's ad practices.
but i disagree -- advertising will always be as necessary as it is today.
"look what happened to them" -- what happened to them?
oh, and PS1: to clarify, when capitalism is done right, there is no conflict serving both the seller and the buyer. I'm not saying oit doesn't serve the advertiser, jsut that it does serve the audience.
Like Sarah said, advertising, when done properly, serves the advertiser. It may also serve the audience, but that's not a requirement for "proper" advertisement.
i think you, like most modern people, misunderstand proper capitalism.
