Alright, so for your specific case, it wasn’t necessary, but your experience isn’t typical.
Even having a sign on your building saying what your business is is a form of advertising. At its core, to advertise is just letting people know that your product or business exists, which is why it’s not inherently a bad thing.
Of course you can find examples of it being a bad thing, but it’s not true in every instance.
The resources used to make the sign don’t come from nowhere. They have go be mined, processed, transported, fabricated into a finished product, and shipped again. That’s a non-zero environmental impact even for a basic non-illuminated sign.
How did your first customer know you existed?
I already explained that it was a small town, my first customer called me while I was still finishing up the paperwork to establish an LLC.
I didn’t have to tell anyone, I already had a reputation for tech competency and word travels very fast in small towns.

Granted.
Agreed.
Hard disagree.
Even where the harm is minimal, it’s still harm. At best, it’s a waste of resources that could be doing something useful.
