A few genuine signals quickly become noise as everyone tries to be heard, demanding more and louder signals to stand out.

And if you don't market at all, you are screwed.

Except for some very special cases, it is a necessary evil.

Really? I disagree. I have this crazy belief that high value, high quality goods do not need advertising. Instead they create their own reputation and word spreads organically.

Then as profits begin to increase they will cheap out on materials and labour to eek out a few dollars more and destroy themselves because this is the game.
