Indeed. On my last LSD adventure where I suffered ego death it became apparent that advertising is an unavoidable and indidious artifact of capitalism.
Advertisers have the audacity to attempt to steal people's attention when they really need it elsewhere. This may include billboards in such times as when their victim is controlling a 1.5MT machine at a velocity of 100km/h on the freeway. The advertisers, in this case don't even bother to ask for permission.
Or when a media outlet colludes with advertisers to pretend an article is "news".
The Super Bowl is basically an advert interrupted by football.
God knows how problem gamblers or drinkers manage to consume media without being triggered with all the gambling or alcohol ads. It's a disgrace.

Plenty of people[0] use advertising who aren't capitalists. [0] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_the_Soviet_Union https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Propaganda_in_the_Soviet_Union
