    You could literally do capitalism in a world without advertisements, people would buy the same amount of things (roughly). Its just a stupid inefficiency caused by capitalism.

      Isn't the whole point of advertisement is to manipulate demand where it wouldn't exist before? Like smartphones are this widespread with even babies having one because of the systematic effort by the industry to push it into everyone.
