No, you're defining marketing in a way so broad as to render the term meaningless, as a way of avoiding answering the actual criticisms. An extreme example of this kind of argument would be "murder is doing stuff, here is an example of people doing stuff and it's fine, so murder is fine". This is fallacious (and, if done deliberately, dishonest) so I won't engage in that line of debate further.



Conversely, I would say you’re defining marketing so narrowly that you’re actually just talking about advertising.

But I agree, it sounds like we’re just arguing semantics at this point and have reached the logical end point of all internet debate
