They're looking for depth where there isn't any. You're attempting to prove advertising is bad by claiming it's like lead pipes, on the basis of them both being bad. It's tautology. One could similarly "prove" ad blockers or puppies by this analogy to be whatever because they, too, can be good or bad.

Modern advertising is what I'm against, not advertising as a whole.

Similarly, I'm against lead pipes for plumbing, not plumbing as a whole.
