> I agree that there is no such thing as an ethical ad

Are you saying an ethical ad is possible, but it has never existed to this day? Or that it’s impossible to ever make an ad ethical?

It seems that using your definition of an advert, an ad can theoretically be made ethical by addressing the issue of consent and psychological manipulation. But it’s probably not practical.
