Add air, water, food, clothes, shelter, education, rehabilitation(incarceration), transportation, and anything else deemed to be a "necessity."
No person or group should be making profits (let alone fortunes big enough to manipulate society) from the things that are deemed "necessary" to live, function, and participate in society.

I once read someone write it like this: "Life, Liberty, and the Pursuit of Happiness correlate directly with Healthcare, Rehabilitation(Incarceration), and Education -- no one should be making profits from any of those things." Something like that. Personally, I would include food, clothes, shelter(housing), sanitation, and hygiene, too.

Modeling... Advertising... What a bunch of right-wing, neolib-conservative garbage, just like all the other non-necessity and for-profit industries. They're all top-down poison. From the lazy, wealthy-class lifestyle-addicts who consume the profits like parasites, to the lazy, working-class, lifestyle-addicts who consume the compliments like parasites.
These lazy, parasitic people should be laboring over the production and procurement of their own life-sustaining necessities, instead of making slaves out of other people who do all the labor for them.
And just as bad as the parasitic, wealthy&working-class lifestyle-addicts who are involved in modeling/advertising, are the working-class lifestyle-addicts who aren't involved in modeling/advertising -- like the ones here in the comments -- who prop up and promote the parasitic, lifestyle-addicts who are.
This world is such a sh!tehole, all because of the lazy, parasitic, neolib-conservative right-wingers -- from the wealthy-class right-wing lifestyle-addicts to the working-class right-wing lifestyle-addicts.

You've been living under oligarchy your entire life. You are NOT living under "oligarchy headed toward fascism" -- you're living in Corporatism headed toward Fascism. Oligarchy is a characteristic of MANY political-systems, such as Monarchism, Feudalism,, Capitalism, Republicanism, Corporatism, AND Fascism.
Furthermore, most, if not all, of recorded-history has taken place under oligarchic political-systems.
And if you must use the word oligarchy to satiate some unnecessary-desire, you would say you're living in a "Corporatist-oligarchy headed toward a Fascist-oligarchy."
But adding the word oligarchy to the actual name of the political-system is redundant, since both systems are oligarchic in nature.
It is just as maddening to watch the indecent working-class dupes in MAGA as it is to watch the decent working-class dupes who are NOT part of MAGA, as both the dupes & the non-dupes try to stumble through the defining characteristics of the socioeconomic & political hurdles (such as oligarchy) that have existed for millennia.
Like, put down the entertainment and pick up the education. Literally -- STOP with the entertainment -- you have decades upon centuries upon millennia of knowledge to catch up on, because your education has been stifled, and you have been stupefied, by oligarchs.
Your sentiments are in the right place, but your rhetoric is, just, not helpful or useful.
Oh, how I long for the days when ignorant people weren't so proud to prove it publicly in exchange for the dopamine-hits that come from getting "likes".
