So you want to constantly be a slave to your consumerist impulses as you uncritically consume everything thrown at you,

Holy shit dude what happens to you when you see an ad??

You need to inform yourself about advertising. Go and look up Edward Bernays. You literally can't stop ads affecting you, except by eliminating them. You think you're being a critical consumer, but you're right where they want you.
