Yes. product placement in movies and how people are increasingly ok with it, is one of the things that made me ask this question. And you are right that we cannot avoid them all. But I think the important thing is not simply to tell to avoid all ads, but to make future generations aware of parts of human behavior that can be taken advantage of. So that they can identify and grow some kind of resistance against such manipulations early on in their life.
I mean, we teach kids about a lot of stuff. But the most important study of all, the study of themselves, the study of man, or even the possibility of such a study, we leave them to figure out themselves. I am not sure if it is feasible to teach kids about such stuff...But may be, we need to figure out a way.
