I imagine a world where advertisers discover screaming babies get people's attention and it permeates the disconnected moodscape of individualized media content. In less than a generation, babies are left hungry + crying in their cribs while parents assume it's just another ad.

"Wassup" is so damn popular that they even did it again - leveraging nostalgia feels on top of a cross-branding promotion with burger king.

The 'annoying google ad' analysis genre is enough that just talking about it right now places me in a sort of memetic trope.https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=wroDmbzv7UM …

Just like how volume levels in audio tracks have slowly been creeping up to compete on the radio, so goes the volume of advertisements as they compete for your attention. The FCC has had regulations on perceivable volume on ads since 2011https://www.fcc.gov/media/policy/loud-commercials …

This was a widespread problem on appletv a few years ago, where apps would boost commercial volume (by my estimation), by at least 30%.
