The pushed marketing is getting really bad. There's now a significant fraction of the shopping list screen in the alexa app taken up by a banner ad for another Amazon app for food shopping.

Nolan Sorrento's plan for the OASIS advertising in the "Ready Player One" movie is looking more realistic every day:
"We can sell up to 80% of an individual's visual field before inducing seizures."
Max Headroom's 'Blipverts' predicted it decades ago. No one listened.
