What If There Were No Advertising?

How many times have you clicked on a website only to find that you cannot see the actual content for all of the Pop-up ads that have come from left, right, above, and below? Do you use an AdBlocker? Do you PAY to block the ads with a Premium Membership only to find there are actually still ads? 
And so the question arose, "What If There Were No Advertising?" 

IMHO, I don't believe it would be such a bad thing. Digital Marketers say that we are exposed to roughly 4,000 to 10,000 ads a day....Whoa! That is 3,995 ads more than I want to see EVER, never mind EVERY DAY! The simple truth is that without advertising, businesses would be forced to provide REAL, quality products and services that would then be spread by word of mouth. If a company gave meh service and produced mediocre products, well, that place wouldn't be in business for very long. And yet, how many businesses and services do we retain that end up giving less than par?

Some say the Organizational market would collapse because large corporations couldn't see what they need to buy to sustain its companies, I disagree. Looooooong before there were ads thundering toward you on a 15" screen businesses survived, perhaps they weren't multibillion-dollar corporations but.....are multibillion-dollar corporations REALLY necessary? That leads us to the 1% but that is a conversation for another day.  

No, no, I really don't believe advertising is a necessity or suffice it to say that the gawdawful pop-up ads are NOT a necessity however at this point in time, some of the ads I see on Instagram or Tiktok that draw us into a kind of story don't aggravate me just yet although Instagram is beginning to have more and more rotation of the same ads each week.
