That’s no strawman. You just refuse to see that there is no universal way to decide upon value that fits everyone’s notion of it. If both people in an exchange come away satisfied, did one exploit the other? How do you strictly define the excess value on each side of the transaction? Your idea of a profit-less society doesn’t consider how we’d pragmatically exchange our labor to achieve that.
Which is one of the many reasons why advertising should be illegal with very few exceptions.
It’s vile what we consider normal.
Absolutely.
How do you define advertising?? How do you propose you inform people about your product?

How do you define profit? If you mean creating value- no, you can’t. Life requires consumption of value. That is food, that is water, and medicine.
No. It exists because people want to exchange what they have for what they want.

So your issue is people consensually exchanging their labor?
