Advertising is a mental hazard that must be constantly managed. It’s draining to defend against as it is almost everyone at all times. I keep advertising to a minimum in my home and I can feel the invasiveness of it when I’m not there, I’ve definitely lost tolerance for advertising over the years and will discard something every quickly if it shows up. Adblock at all times on the net.

It reminds me of that scene in Diaspora where a couple of robots found an old coke can in the woods. They freaked out, fearing memetic contagion.
