How are those ads worse? This feels completely arbitrary.

  I think GP is saying that what they asked for as a kid was much more affordable

    Sure? It’s still consumer capitalism?

  they are explicit ads for fun things, not some ambiguous influencer ad that makes your kid feel bad about themselves.

    …sure, the ads make them seem fun. Maybe kids these days want special clothes instead of McDonald’s and Sunny D? (those things are good for what they are but not great in any objective sense. Neither are clothes, but that’s kind of my point.) Also from experience of my younger sibling and my cousins, those ads (and things) are mostly seen and desired by teenagers, which is morally questionable in different ways.
