Living life in the present age is being almost constantly under pressure from people trying to influence you to do what they want (which is what Advertising is: sales pressure, often of the slimy kind that tries to influence you subconsciously).
Properly trying to do what is rationally in your own self-interest whilst minimizing the influence (as I mentioned, because Marketing nowadays use techniques from Psychology, commonly subconsciously) from those trying to manipulate you into giving them your money is tiresome, to say the least.
Just the other day I saw the new Aquaman film and the amount of in-your-face Product Placement (mainly of a known beer brand) was literally disgusting and significantly spoiled the film (which, frankly, wasn’t all that great to begin with - Special Effect rompfest with bad writting).
