I don't know if we have to ban advertising, but we should stop giving people a tax break on it for sure.

Businesses already categorize this stuff. It's just another color of money. It's more a case of them labeling lots of things as advertising that a might cause a reasonable person to narrow their eyes.

Buying ads and ad services for one. Not sure how I feel about 'market research'.
