    Spam's ultimate objective is to capture your banking/credit card details so they can steal your money. Doesn't matter what they purport to be selling.

    Advertising has a product or service they'd like to trade you for your money... so no theft is involved.

    That's why spam comes from bot nets. It's a criminal enterprise through and through. Legitimate bulk email advertising costs money.
