ebay just stopped paying for people who search for "ebay" and related. (these are called "brand" keywords). that's a completely different statement than saying advertising is a fad. depending on the business it may be but ebay definitely spends a ton on keywords with buying intent. FB is in a very different market from both brand keywords and non-brand high intent keywords.

Nobody is saying that.

There is sickening commenting trend where people take maxim of every argument, then argue against that.
