Not necessarily. I view the advertising industry as a net loss to society, yet the amount of revenue is immense and the salaries of the people working there are equally large.

Yes, the idea of exposing potential consumers and informing them of what your product is in principle fine, but that idea was perverted long before any of us were born. Now it's about spending money on selling products that aren't selling themselves, because it's cheaper than making a better product. As always, exceptions exist.
