> Ultimately people want to learn about new products and services

Maybe I'm just not a typical person, but I have never woken up in the morning and said to myself, "You know, I would just love for a corporation to help me learn about their new products and services today." Never. Not even once. When I want to learn about something, I will actively seek information out about it, and I'm not going to look to advertisements for impartial information. The purpose of advertising is never to inform. It's to bombard and saturate.

You are 100% typical in this. Advertising is the opposite of informing.
