7) The advertising industry
They do nothing but scare people for the sake of getting them to buy shit that they don't need. That money goes to finance even MORE commercials for MORE shit that would cost a tenth as much if it wasn't for advertisers.
Most advertising is not based on fear.
Coca Cola advertises. So does The Nature Conservancy. I'd guess you have a problem with the former and not the latter. Perhaps the problem is the product and in many cases a lack of regulation about product claims, not the advertiser.
Advertising does not account for 90% of the budget for any product.
