The proposal that I responded to wanted a system where a consumer can express their desire for a product or service given the problem and that you get back results that don't have the smell of advertising. Put differently, these aspects I enumerated ARE attributes of advertising that the proposal seeks to eliminate.

I actually didn’t require it to stop looking like current advertising. I merely wish for a system in which you come to companies telling them what problem you want and listen to what they have to say.

This is opposed to the current system where they are constantly trying to barge into your life.

It’s about pulling in information when you want it versus having it pushed onto you. See my reply to your other comment.
