When you haven't been exposed to advertising for a while and it's no longer normalised, it's quite jarring. Not because it's annoying or shit, rarely lacking any artistic merit, begging and pleading and lying for attention and complicity - that bit you remember.
But because the only way this crap exists at all is through force, ramming it through devices without permission or consent. An entire industry based on tracking and surveillance to target assault.
It's fucking despicable.
