I would argue, that every kind of modern marketing basically boils down to 'evil' marketing. It is sadly the most successful kind of marketing, and thus corporations optimize for it.

Yeah, sure. But what I don't understand is why corporations do that. I mean, nowhere is it written that they must be evil. I can understand competition, the will to please the customer, etc. But why many big corps end up there, I don't get it. It's as if once a corp becomes big, the collection of its part loose its moral compass... Dunno... Any sociologist here ?
