Children and teens need exercise and nature. In general, consumer culture has been searching for the limitations of the human mind to absorb advertising.
I think at some point around 2010 we crossed the threshold.
And adults. Adults, too. Also, funny you mention "consumer culture". I was railing against that about 20 years ago on the internet of the time, saying that it's going to go online, and crush us all. Funny how things turned out...

A sedentary life is becoming the default, and once that pattern is established you don't realize how much better you'd feel if you were active.
This is why so many people become "fitness nuts." They've seen the transition in their own lives and they just can't help but desire everyone around them to feel it too.

The one good thing about today, at least for me, is the only time I am subject to invasive advertising (like TV commercials) is when I watch sports. I absorb way less since streaming and cutting cable. I'm working on absorbing way less news, the way news is presented today is horrible for people. If I feel like I need to catch some headlines, I prep myself by thinking, "get ready for doomscroll."
