The thing that amazes me is the sheer amount of money that seems to be in advertising. It’s sometimes more profitable to surveil or shoehorn in ads than to sell products.

Could this be somehow related to two decades of cheap money and the bloated corporate budgets it created?

It works, there wouldn't be so much advertising without the gains. Of course in this process lots of companies and business, amateurs in advertising, loose money, and of course big companies try new stuff everytime and they loose money too. I'm a marketer and I really feel the ad sector is like a disservice to humanity, trowing money to the script driven money factory when lots of people can't even eat every day.
