MODERATORS
The hope spot is this: Any advertising that is effective on the mainstream cis het normal (non-counter-culture) adults is simultaneously indoctrinating the kids watching the stuff. Since the single commercial in a half-hour of the 1950s, advertising has gotten more obnoxious and less effective no matter what marketers do.
It doesn't help that stockholder primacy works directly against any publicly-owned company offering a good product at a fair price while paying its workers a fair wage when they could overprice a shoddy project while squeezing their workforce. So the viewing public has actual cause to be skeptical of anyone selling them something. Every year there are fewer offerings without a catch or are a good deal when not on closeout.
