Maybe it was in days when only broadcast media existed. Now, we have the ability to search for answers to our needs.

Our information paradigm has changed; so should advertising. Let consumers seek out new products, if they wish to.

It hasn’t changed. To know to search for X you must first know X exists.

(If you search for “the best ways to Y” and find an article that tells you about X, congratulations—chances are, you are reading an advertisement.)

  • That's a weak argument. Stores are not advertisements.

    • Advertisement is the engine of free market. The technological progress made possible with free market and advertisement as its integral part is evidence supporting my argument—yes, the very device you are reading this on is the evidence.

      You have not provided a viable argument so far. I can’t say you failed to provide supporting evidence, because you have not even made a claim. Inventing a meaningless term like “information paradigm” and implying it has somehow changed is not one.

      You either lack a point to make, or are struggling to express one.
