    Usually I go:

    “Hmm advertisement. Must not be a good enough product to sell itself.”

      I hate ads too, and I would be happier if they didn’t exist- but I’ve also made a lot of ads and there is no way every business would succeed on just word-of-mouth, especially rural ones. I think for small businesses, advertising is an evil necessity.

      Just don’t be an idiot about it.
