      apple Corporations trying to be honest challenge (impossible)

      Fixed that for you. I mean, that’s literally all advertising is: rebranded corporate propaganda. Just because it’s called an “advertisement” doesn’t make it not “propaganda.”

        I don’t think all adverts are propaganda. For instance, someone in my village has a sign outside their house that says “EGGS FOR SALE” - that is 100% an advert, but I’m not sure you could convince me it’s propaganda.

        I agree that there’s a lot of overlap between advertising and corporate propaganda, but they’re definitely different things.

        Still, we have guidelines on false advertising for a reason. Some companies “advertise” their products in a more truthful and good faith way, and others don’t. There’s value in calling specific incidents out

        This isn’t to bash Apple or defend one of its competitors, I just think it’s unproductive when we have this set of comments:

        • “x did something bad”
        • “yea well they all do it”

          Dude we’re in a class war and our class is losing. Can you name a single major corporation who has the future of working class genuinely in mind? We literally just went through “inflation” half of which was just a corporate money grab.

          Know your enemy.

            My point is that we should be specific about problems, or else they get ignored

            I find that saying “oh well, they all do it” is indirectly defending the company that did something wrong

              If you read it that way, that’s on you for deciding it must mean that excuses the behavior. Pointing out that it is everywhere isn’t the same as saying that means it’s okay or we shouldn’t be upset about it.

              A lot of fluff about how it isn’t propaganda sounds a lot more defensive of these people than I am being, so whatever.

              Literally you’re the one actually defending the behavior here, so I really don’t understand what you’re angling for.

      Please show me a honest ad. I’ll wait.

      Maybe it’s the Samsung moon shot that’ll fill a complete perfectly in focus moon even if you take a picture of a blurry picture of the moon?

      Or the Nokia “actually shot with phone” ads that were shot with professional cameras.
