If cocaine were banned the industry wouldn’t exist

That feels like a pretty big false equivalency. There's a huge consumer demand for cocaine, that's the whole reason cartels exist.

No consumer wants behavior driven marketing, it's forced on them for the benefit of companies. If ads were outlawed right now, I doubt you'd find any communities online trying to get bootleg ads working on their machine lol
