Its like you touched on earlier: it was creative - at one point. Then everyone started doing it. Remember when alternative finally broke big? It was creative for about 18 months. Than everyone started doing it and all of a sudden its no longer creative, its just the crap that's on the radio.
Advertising is the same way. There could be alternatives that didn't cause as big of a problem as the "link my journal and get a trillion dollars" stuff.
