Then go to an online dictionary and look up the definition of "advertisement"

"A notice, such as a poster or a paid announcement in the print, broadcast, or
electronic media, designed to attract public attention or patronage."

So there is no "opinion" about what an advertisement is, it is a precisely
defined term in the English language...  It doesn't require multiple postings,
just a single post with the intent of attracting "patronage"...
