  We're seeing historic reductions in the consumption of stuff too. A lot of people don't realize that pandemic stimulus checks in the US were being spent like extra pocket money (a lot of people bought durable goods with it), and now that there is no pretense to give out more money, consumer spending is likely to be lower than it would be without those checks.

Brands will keep spending to keep their customers, and cheaper alternatives will keep spending on ads to promote their sales. In competitive market and free economy ads are a fundamental engine that will keep economy running. Ads is sort of toll booth that takes their cut no matter what
