This is a TVTropes page, but recently I've noticed a lot of YouTube ads for medication that don't say anything at all about what it's supposed to do -- they only state the name. Why does anybody put that online?!
What were they selling again?

YouTube Ads..
I’ve seen those myself, my husband has a pretty rare condition however the drugs in the ads are directed toward his community. On YouTube there’s usually an option to click for more information.
Oddly enough last night I was watching Hulu in our living room on a Roku tv, the ad wanted me to press a button on the remote for a demonstration.

And what's the point of that?! "Ask your doctor if Profitusol is right for you." We'll, I'm never gonna ask a doctor that! He's the one who went to medical school -- I expect him to know what drug is right for me!
I have never understood why pharma even tries to advertise its non-OTC products to the general public. It should only touting its prescription drugs to the physicians.

You cannot get away from advertising that easily. It's everywhere. It's more ubiquitous than any virus.
I recall in Minority Report, Tom Cruise's character has to buy new black-market retinas to conceal his identity. Then he walks into a clothing store, and a computer says, "Hello, Mr. Takashima! Would you like to look at another selection of tank tops?"
Somehow, that purely commercial level of surveillance is even more disturbing than Orwell's 1984.
