I imagine that the author would say something like: One of the core tenets of advertising is that repetition works to make people believe ideas. If you want to fight advertising (or other harmful consumerism), you have to repeat yourself as much or more than they do. I suppose this begs the question: If you use the tactics of surveillance capitalists for "good", do you bring yourself to their level?

You don’t even have to do that. You can just ask a simple question when presented some media: “who benefits?” This line of thinking can help you reliably deduce the intentions of many pieces of advertisement and propaganda. To just accept the firehose as it is, is to suck from it as its owners intend. Just take a step back and ask why. Logic will reveal the ground truth.
