Right, but the counterpoint is that, for me, all forms of advertising are negative. I dislike them and would prefer to never see another one again. I&#x27;m sure there are plenty of people like me and the problem is that we aren&#x27;t compensated for the economic harm they cause us.<p>I seem to have no way to signal my demand for such things other than avoiding products and brands that advertise, but my signal is probably misinterpreted by companies thinking they&#x27;re not advertising enough.<p>Maybe a better term is just negative externality. The masses suffer the negatives while the advertiser and the business paying for the ads receive nearly all the benefits.
