I would agree, that I would rather not suffer imposed advertising I did not ask for even if missing out some products.

However, you can have e.g. a magazine that lists computer parts if you want to buy that (as mentioned by another comment), or in a restaurant that has a sign on the wall (or a printed menu) indicating new items, or a news paper might have a section relating to restaurants or movies or whatever else you might want to buy, or there might be publications that specialize in these things if you are deliberately trying to look for them. They should not need to put advertising anywhere, and they should not need to make it excessive or abusive or dishonest like they do, etc.

(Products that they advertise way too much often have some problems other than just the advertising, too.)

Okay, thw question then becomes: How do we get people to deliberatly look?

Say I have this stunning webshop with margins smaller than bezos toilet breaks. How do I survive out there in the jungle?
