      Mainly so at “higher” levels, but marketing has legitimate uses. A politician you like campaigning is marketing. Advertising my little lawn service back in the day was marketing. A lot of great local places go under for lack of marketing. They’re awesome, but no one knows they exist.

        I’m halfway joking, but marketing does involve various degrees of lying.
