Marketing is a necessary part of the creative process.
Marketing is neither good nor evil.
Marketing implies that you want a public to relate to your product - if it's a product - in a way that makes them want to use it. That is only good or evil in relationship to what the product actually does.
You can't say there shouldn't be marketing and (that) marketing is a bad thing.
Marketing is not inherently bad. That's just dumb. That's said by somebody that isn't doing enough work.
