What I see in my (absurdly competitive) market is that the people 
that truly do no-marketing tend to close shop, sometimes despite 
very competitive offerings.

It colors my perception of course, since it can be very tempting 
to appeal to a limited pool of discerning customers; but that 
would mean death.

Imho the ones that succeed doing "no marketing" are actively 
telling others they don't do marketing. It can be sometimes 
funny, when the "no marketing" products comes with walls of text 
and videos that very much sound like... storytelling. But

Like in the "no-makeup makeup", there is still makeup but not 
obvious. 2018's marketing trend is to subtly fake complete 
honesty.
