I never said that those that produce them are not clever, nor accomplished. I never suggested that they should be banned.
Indeed some adverts are very entertaining and funny. That doesn't mean what they suggest their product will do for you is not an exaggeration at the least.
As for calling them a scam. A scam can also be defined as a confidence trick. It is to offer something that can't or won't be fully delivered. From that perspective I think advertising is exactly that.
I can't remember the last time I had a product deliver what they suggested in its adverts.
If you don't share that point of view, that is fine by me...
