Would advertising be so effective if we weren't bored? A deficit of things we "have" to do have made boredom a common thing in modern life instead of a rarity

Would advertising be so effective if we weren't bored? A deficit of things we "have" to do have made boredom a common thing in modern life instead of a rarity reserved for monks or nobility. And so so many of these things we do are seeking stimulation and novelty, not reproductive success. You have to find other answers to the "what do you want to do" and "how will you mentally satisfy yourself" problems if you opt out. They won't solve themselves.
