Why is advertising necessary? Do you think there are too many ads on TV, Internet, etc?

 Advertisements are a way to promote products so that consumers can see and buy them. Nowadays, we can see adds everywhere, on television, at bus stops (billboards) on social networks.

It could be said that ads are essential in our society since every time new inventions are created and they are part of the sales strategies on the part of the companies.

A lot of people complain about commercials because many times they prevent you from using an app or viewing content until you have seen the ad, and many times they long lasting.

In my opinion, advertisements may be excessive but they are necessary because some of them are by hospitals, ONG or food banks that help people and we get to know them throughout their advertisements.

It’s common to hear people complaining about the fact that there are too many ads on TV, Internet, even on the road. I’m not going to lie, it sometimes bothers me as well, but then I take a long breath and think about the importance of the advertising industry. It’s not a secret that the advertising industry involves a lot of money, and it is because of its influence on people’s minds, otherwise big companies would not spend so much money on it.

Then I think about the lot of jobs that it generates and the families that depend financially on these companies. I think there are too many ads everywhere but I also think that it has its reasons to be like that.
