From violations of privacy, to the mainpulation or even maliciousness at its core, I think marketing at it's current state is poison to society. But I also think it might be a necessary evil. What would be a good alternative implementation of advertising look like? Or do we even need it? If the former, how would advertising look in a non-capitalist society?

I agree, something like a verified product broadsheet that includes information about the product, but also provides information on where it is sourced and manufactured, who is doing the labor of production, where it can be serviced, how long its expected use... to provide the consumer fuller picture of utility.
