Of course it does! Advertising exists to get people to buy shit. If you really needed it, you'd go to the store and get it, go to the woods and hunt it, or go to your neighbor's and steal it. For everything else, we have advertising. Go inside any marketing firm and you will hear the language of war. These people want territory in the form of market share. Like in any war, ammunition cannot just be shot at the participants.

Advertisement resistant humans are an emerging strain. Only those with the mutation will survive the market wars.
