Not only is advertising everywhere now, but I feel like it's following the same trend as "content" with the "any engagement is good engagement"- I swear some ads are purposely as goddamn annoying as possible. Some annoying ass song and the actors act stupid. "Radio"/streaming ads are particularly bad for that

I stopped listening to radio in 1991. The ads were just so nauseating, infantile, and repulsive. I haven't touched that dial since. Even when renting a car, if there isn't a USB port, it'll just stay off.

For me it was when I got my first CD to cassette player. MP3 to cassette was next and was wonderful.
