Interesting but the issue is that you can't just ban advertising because it has many aspects.

20% discount or tv ads are a form of advertising, easy to spot. What about sponsored content ?

It's already trickier to detect, and even then there are sponsored content where someone is paid to showcase, review or straight up lie about a product quality.

If I make a great job with a customer and I tell him, make everyone you know aware how great I am. That's also a form of advertising.

Just being myself is advertising for myself, if I'm good at something, I can take part in a talent tv show and purposely avetise my skills to tv viewer.
