You don't have the time to accurately judge every marketing campaign so assuming that all of them are manipulative and evil is reasonable. What do you suggest people would do instead?

None of your argument is that marketing isn't evil, just that it's necessary in this society or that other things are also evil. I agree.
Also, marketers don't work in a vacuum, they are hired by managers and business owners to create exposure and help create growth. Of course marketers work for money, we all do and very few us do work that actually help customers in a profoundly meaningful way no matter how we rationalize our work.
