    Right?! It’s just tricking people into spending money they shouldn’t.

      That’s like 99% of what marketing is.

        Which is one of the many reasons why advertising should be illegal with very few exceptions.

          How do you define advertising?? How do you propose you inform people about your product?

              You can restructure society to not require profit.

              How do you define profit? If you mean creating value- no, you can’t. Life requires consumption of value. That is food, that is water, and medicine.

              The economy exists currently purely to increase consumption

              No. It exists because people want to exchange what they have for what they want.
