RE: Should Steemit advertise?

I think most consumers have an ambivalent relationship with advertising. I think some perceive advertising as an important source of information, and some perceive it as creating buying pressure and seems seductive. People are also fooled/tricked/mislead by advertising.
I personally find advertising annoying and disturbing. At the same time, when i am looking for an item/product, advertising provides important information about products and prices, obviously. Its a tool to navigate in a ever expanding and complicated marked. The local products are now global products. I think you need some form of navigation tool for this.

Also, today, many advertisements are funny and creative, and even piece of art i would say.

I would also like to add, that on Steemit, which im am very new at, i can easily see Advertising, entertainment and journalism become intertwined. So, your general question demands a good nuanced answer.

For me, personally, i would just prefer a option where i could Tick/untick advertisement.
