This
 phenomenon appears to be global and I believe it has detrimental effects on the population. There are innumerable drawbacks of advertising to the community.
Firstly
, it distracts the observers’ concentration and affects their productivity
while
 working.
For example
, a student, who is using the internet to collect relevant information, would certainly be distracted by some fascinating ads, or annoying pop-ups which are designed to draw their attention.

They are still mentally weak, and may not be able to prevent themselves from drifting to these ads, which might be pornographies or toxic information. I do appreciate the fact that many advertisements present good products, deliver a meaningful message, or provide
