You might not know it is a problem and that it is solvable.




Yes but the amount of that happening is nowhere near enough to justify the ad-world we are living in.

Why would I care then? If people lived until now without it it can't be that big of a problem. Electricity, a car, a fridge, &c. solve legitimate problems. 99% of things being advertised today create the problem they solve and trick you into thinking you really need to solve this problem in your life

> If people lived until now without it it can't be that big of a problem

That’s a very weak argument that can justify anything. Why do you need electricity, a car, a fridge? There have been people living without these for thousands of years. Of course there are bad ads and useless products (probably 99% of them), but not all ads are useless.
