From violations of privacy, to the mainpulation or even maliciousness at its core, I think marketing at it's current state is poison to society. But I also think it might be a necessary evil. What would be a good alternative implementation of advertising look like? Or do we even need it? If the former, how would advertising look in a non-capitalist society?

Out of curiosity, do you think Lemmy would benefit from letting users tag their own comments as shit posts and then let other users filter accordingly?
