Is it true that on ads so much money is spent and that leads to increase of the MRP?
If yes than it will lead to high prices and consequent effects.

I agree with 2nd point but ads can be given in a socialist economy too. And the statement nowhere talks about capitalist economy. It is an assumption not argument if capitalist economy is dragged into the subject.
