Why have we allowed advertisements to become so normalized?

This.

It doesn't matter. Your brain probably remembers a good 10 to 20 ads in their entirety. You can recognize the jingles of their slogans. It is intrusive and something you shouldn't be okay with if you have an inner monologue. Now if you're a retarded NPC then your replies make sense.

Why do you watch ads?

What's wrong with remembering things?

The US has become a country of Mammon worshippers.

*You're at a bar, ad comes on the TV.
*You're at a party, ad comes on from the TV in a room.
*Hanging out with a girl after sex, ad comes on.
*Work computer, need to search something ad ad ad.
*Email, spam ad ad ad

I'm done with you. You are clearly a fucking retard.

Marketing is just the natural consequence of capitalism optimizing itself
Since the world must rely on consistent consumption, both supply and demand must be produced

I understand the reason it has come to exist. I don't understand people not being more upset with it, especially as more type of technology enables the broadcasting of them.

I don't watch TV. Maybe you should stop.
