Those ads are not bad at all. I don't understand why anyone would have a problem with these.

    This may help you understand why some care about this issue:

    While advertising can be seen as necessary for economic growth, it is not without social costs.

    Advertising frequently uses psychological pressure (for example, appealing to feelings of inadequacy) on the intended consumer, which may be harmful.

    ... advertising leads to an overall increase in consumption in society; "Advertising serves not so much to advertise products as to promote consumption as a way of life."[

    https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Criticism_of_advertising

    We already have built in advertising on Steem via the Steem token and different services built on Steem, not sure why we need more of the old "bad" fiat money.
