Why is advertising considered evil?

So the past few years have shown a bend in current trends that pushes against advertising, and I must admit that I've been for and against advertising during these years, but in the end I must admit that advertising isn't always as evil as it seems.

I've been sitting here for the past few hours watching online videos and was shocked that forced advertising has made it's way into YouTube. I had to sit through the same misogynistic Allstate advertisement 3 or 4 times in the past hour and it made me realize something. If it weren't for these advertisements I would have to pay for a subscription to something as worthless as YouTube.

Things like Facebook and Google would be subscription services if they didn't make their bread and butter by forcing us to look at their worthless ads. So maybe we need to embrace these ads as a part of our daily lives and look to them as the future of our Utopian society.

So on this day of Thanksgiving 2010 I give thanks to the positive effects advertising has had on our modern day society.
