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.

    • >advertisement is the engine of free market

      Repeating something ad nauseam does not make it true.

      Advertising is just attempted demand generation for otherwise weak product offerings, a ploy to exploit human psychology by appealing to needs to be part of an in group, desire for sexual appeal. It is exploitative and harmful to its viewers.

      Hows that for a claim?
