They've figured this out, the most advanced way to advertise something to you is without you even thinking about it. Because the commons aren't collectively owned, it's the ones with the most money who advertise to you the most. It's why they don't really care about you using adblock.
They've already paid for the place in your life and the only way to escape them is to disconnect from society at large. Or maybe one day change it.
