Presentation can be an important factor, but an ad is an ad. My prev example also shows that we don't necessarily know what to look for in the first place.
I think we should ask questions like "What is the proper way to distribute information about different classes of products/services?" (the answers for medicine and fancy cars surely must be different) or "Why do we have ads in the first place?" so we won't throw out the baby with the bathwater.

I probably hate advertising as it is more than most people, but we have the old saying: "even the best wine needs a banner", and I can't dispute that.
Example: It recently crossed my mind that maybe I could rent cargo bikes when needed and turns out I could! This service would've been very useful to me, but I simply didn't know about it before. An ad in this case would've been beneficial for everyone.
My point is that ads don't necessarily "inject" a need but an option. Problem is that while the latter increases buyer freedom, the former increases seller revenue so guess which type of ads we see more frequently...
