except without advertising no one knows about product A so no one would buy it so they have to advertise it anyway, whether you’re paying for product B or not
(assuming product A is a new product and not like coca cola or something, but even then they’re still gonna do ads)
I think we need to transition from mass produced fixed specs products, which creates incentives for new companies dedicated to niche markets.
And go into producing tailored services and products custom made for the people who wants them. So there’s less differentiation between company a or b, so there’s less reasons for startup c to be created. So there’s less need for advertising. Also, call out that most consumption is induced by advertising for you to want something, when most people’s lives would improve by wanting less and making the most of what they have + healthier people relationships, which is against capitalism.

the userbase will organically grow if it’s any good through word of mouth imo
only the users can properly decide if a thing is any good, the people that made it can’t
sure but companies are still gonna advertise because it makes a big difference for the company
I don’t think they’re suggesting we ask companies to “pretty please stop advertising”.
so what are they suggesting? a complete ban on ads?
I think they are implying that, yes, for their thought experiment to have any validity
