You guys think too much inside the system as it is today.
Without bullshit jobs there is no concept of "leads". People would just buy the service they need, and supposedly the best most utilitarian product would survive only based on that.

Marketers do all that stuff every day, and your system would still have them. You seem to be against advertising, which is a tiny subset of marketing.
The endgame is very similar still - one with higher reach and budget wins. Unless the competition is vastly superior.
Of course it won't work that way, because Google and Microsoft will spend shit ton of money spamming the Internet about their widgets, so yours dies in the noise. Therefore, you need to spend your money and time to shout louder and louder.
This is what it means to be in a zero-sum game. Pure waste, which unfortunately cannot be stopped from within the system.
You of course understand that is marketing right?
Literally, everything a company does is push, and everything a customer does is pull. Hell, even the act of making your widget in your basement is a push, you put the effort into making it so people would use it.
