Propaganda does not need advertising to disseminate itself, particularly not in 2025. There are multiple channels. Limiting one—advertising—just moves the flow to other channels.

Yes. Not all business models utilize public advertising. For example, MLMs like Amway and LuLaRoe.
Advertising didn’t exist for most of history because mass media didn’t exist. Advertising is part and parcel of mass media.
Marketing existed, it was just a higher ratio of publicity, merchandising and astroturfing than today.
