    Word of mouth is the most powerful type of advertisement that no one is against.

      We all know if every other way of advertising was banned, they’d start paying (or “incentivizing”) millions of people to “do word of mouth” for them.

      And then we’ll have those people polluting every online space with unlabeled ads. No thank you.

          They’re not “millions” right now. Imagine every single dollar they currently spend for different types of advertising, all used as budget for astroturfing. It would turn every online space into bots talking to themselves and nothing else.
