Seriously.

Marketing is nothing more than convincing people to buy stuff they do not need.

It is the reason we live in a consumer culture that is fucking up the planet with useless trash.

my rule of thumb for buying any product or service is that if it needs paid advertising then it probably isn’t worth it. otherwise I would have heard it independently from somewhere or someone
