This admission that they would lose 80% of advertising targets (people like you and me) if they couldn't advertise at them without their permission - this exposes the falshood of their usual claim that targeted ads "benefit" audiences by showing ads for things they're supposedly interested in. If the marketers can't get a person to agree to it voluntarily, it's not a benefit for that person, and the standard excuse is a lie. |

So, what would marketing Armageddon look like?
Who would play the part of the 12th Imam? Who'd be Auntie Christ? What would Hot Tamales taste like?
So many un-marketed questions.

I don't even like marketing, but I've made this guy a daily read.

Re: F*ck the marketers
Well that's really it: People should ADMIT that the marketers are correct, in that it would be Armageddon for their industry, and then ADMIT that they want to put all the people in that industry out of work. I am willing to admit that doing away with targeted marketing is worth taking that kind of drastic, anti-business action. The problem is that that gets people thinking about what THEY do, and how readily people would start sending the government out to do away with their industry, if they're doing something that people would rather not be done. |

Considering that these are the same people that make internet ads which outright are toxic to a computer's system stability (by demanding I install some really badly written plug-in which hoses other things if not are outright spyware/malware), and that these are the same people who whine and piss and moan about how injecting truth in advertising ends up being damaging to their bottom line (because now they have to tell you about all those hidden fees to get the service you were initially interested in), I have no sympathy with their whines and moans.
And if I were evil dictator of America, everyone in a marketing job would be executed.  |

Choices would be based on taste as opposed to lies. This would be a good thing. Let the market rule, instead of lying advertisements.
