People saying that ads are specifically about making people buy things - what about political ads? I don't necessarily believe in voting for elected representatives,, but I do think voting is a separate act to purchasing.
People saying all ads are propaganda, what about being listed in a directory, or a basic factual "Gardener available, call 000" post on a community noticeboard? I don't think it necessarily meets the definition of trying to change someone's mind.
Propaganda is rooted in propagation of ideas. You post an advertisement to propagate an idea, specifically the idea that you are available for work and can be reached at this address. So yes, all advertisements are propagating ideas on the hope that these ideas will alter behaviors of people (like calling you for gardening help) and therefore all advertisements are propaganda
