Sorry, this is dogmatic and thoroughly ignorant.

Here's an example from yesterday. I'm visiting a new country. I knew I wanted to go on a tour, not sure which one. I went to Airbnb to check my messages, and was ADVERTISED an "Architecture tour of the city". We booked it and had an amazing time.

Advertising isn't strictly immoral and artificial, but a lot can be.

Spreading dogmatism based on emotion is _generally_ (see what I did there?) not a viable way to spread information.
