Marketing should be banned.
Its sole purpose is to get people to buy shit they do not need, in order to make someone more money than they deserve. All through manipulation of your brain.
It's the sole reason we are over consuming.
Consumers would just search for those kinds of products themselves if they encounter a problem they feel the need to improve. They don't need to be told those products exist.
This is objectively not true. Not everyone has every idea to solve every problem. Sometimes someone fixes a problem you didn't know you had. Happens all the time in hobbying for example.
