Advertising has expanded way beyond just media at such a crazy pace… If I could be a hermit and live in the woods away from it, I’d consider it… but I’d hate giving up the internet, the ultimate advertising partner.

If you buy a WWE or AEW shirt and it can’t just have the wrestler on it, it must have the company logo on it, when you buy a t-shirt now it likely has the company logo somewhere on it where others can see it, shoes have swooshes, hashes, NB, etc brandished on them… it’s just hard to get away from ads or even being a billboard yourself.

When you buy a car it comes with the car company logo on it, and then the dealership puts their name and address as well.

As you mentioned games…

There was an ad expo recently where they were promoting a new advertising scam to grocery stores, facial/phone monitoring of customers would trigger targeted ads at customers as they walk down the aisles. If you are old you might remember the coupon machines, it would work similarly to those, attached to the shelf and would play an ad as you come by. Some Walgreens locations have been testing new coolers, instead of clear glass it’s ads of what is inside the cooler.

The world is an oyster for the wealthy to push their ads on you to make more money.
