I'm not sure I follow where you're coming from here. Is the idea that over-exposure to advertisement is processed the same as being provided general information, reducing people's inclination to seek out information independently, despite the fact that advertising is only the provision of specific, narrow information?
Thanks for elaborating!
I think I better see what you meant now. Potential degradations in processing ability possibly from a combination of cognitive overload and exhaustion from the volumes of information encountered, both of which may be more frequently reached from a mixture of a lack of self-regulation, not knowing & exceeding one's limits, and inadequate education and practice regarding the former two alongside reasoning abilities to more effectively navigate info without as often being overloaded/exhausted.
