Is advertising good or bad

Advertising is good in some ways because it attracts people to do what you want them to do but it sometimes costs a lot of money.

In my opinion, I feel that advertising is not useful(bad), because it just persuades people in the world to purchase items that they do not need in the first place. I also feel that advertising is a useless way to succeed in life off of random, confused, and uneducated people. It takes over the person and which makes them want to do what the salesperson want them to do. I think advertising is not beneficial, because it's useless, con people, and waste of time.
