It is, for sure, but I take it as self-evident that capitalism would not have used general forms of advertising for as long as it did if they didn't work.
This doesn't mean that traditional forms of advertising are the most ideal. But, when it comes to commerce, we often need to curb the ideal in favor of the consumer and their individual concerns.
