I would agree if everyone could just chill and present honest ads. Instead we have Google comparing their hardware against third-world manufacturers, Apple benchmarking their Macbooks against 4-year-old machines and Microsoft claiming performance improvements over Windows 8.

Nobody can tell an honest narrative anymore. It's just different flavors of hustling for different people, who think their taste in advertising is exclusive or developed.

Advertising narratives have never been honest.
Then you'll have a hard time getting people to stop thinking they're "objectively bad manipulation".
I don't think they care as long as you watch.
