I suppose it depends on what you mean by 'marketing'. Generally, I appreciate being informed about goods and services that I might be interested in purchasing. However, I hate being manipulated into buying things I don't really want or being misinformed about the products that I am offered. Unfortunately, I would have to say that a lot of 'marketing' these days seems to fall into the second unethical category.
