Man, putting "draft order" in the headline is super shitty.

Apparently not if one paycheck is from the government and the other is from a company that works with the government.

A self-published newspaper is absolutely an advertisement. So are posts on social media.

Advertising isn't just pushing things on people who didn't sign up for it.

I have mine exposed to the Internet so I can control things and get notifications when I'm away. But I pay HA to use their cloud service.

You're talking about targeted advertising, buddy. There's that nitpicking I was talking about, because targeted advertising isn't the only advertising there is.

By that logic, having buildings is harmful. You're never going to achieve zero environmental impact no matter what you do.

But again, not all advertising uses physical resources. If an independent artist shares their work on their social media page for people who want to see their content, that's advertising, and it's not a bad thing.

But, of course you're going to nitpick things to hell until you find the exception.

Edit: Actually, come to think of it, building signage can have a net positive environmental effect. You could easily make a sign with reclaimed lumber or other recycled/upcycled materials.

Why is a sign on your building harmful?

[–] entwine413@lemm.ee 1 points 2 weeks ago (9 children)

Alright, so for your specific case, it wasn't necessary, but your experience isn't typical.

Even having a sign on your building saying what your business is is a form of advertising. At its core, to advertise is just letting people know that your product or business exists, which is why it's not inherently a bad thing.

Of course you can find examples of it being a bad thing, but it's not true in every instance.
