Yea as much as we hate marketing it's necessary to some degree for us to even know that things exist. How do you think new medications for yet untreated diseases get spread? Those companies pay a ton in marketing to get the meds out into the world and in the hands of doctors. Lots more people would be dying of stuff we have the cure for if they couldn't advertise meds.

Directories for specific products would be good though. If I need a kitchen gadget I can go to a directory of kitchen or food goods and look around. Between that and word of mouth we would be covered.

you get one research paper too but the sample size of the study should be in the title.

Is reading the abstract at the very beginning really that much of a burden?

Making it easier to sort them is something we need to consider. Also, it would make disinformation harder.
