    This seems like it’s not going to be a productive conversation if you’re going to accuse me of using a strawman argument.

    It seems like its not going to go anywhere because you think of all human communication as an act of manipulation.

      Not all advertising is manipulation. The convo is going nowhere because you are No True Scotsmanning the definition of “advertisement”.

      If you’re dropping a name of a product or service and describe anything about it to appeal to others, you are definitionally advertising.
