Advertising is not a modern phenomenon, business owners would shout and have town heralds advertise through them. Everyone being literate is a modern thing and people need to learn how to modulate themselves. You don’t have to buy things cause something is on sale. A business owner is absolutely entitled to shout if their underwear is 20% off and you’re entitled to ignore them.
I’ve thought about a world where ads are illegal several times. I think a better compromise might be all ads must silent and static, no movement. In my mind this includes ad carousels. That would mean that there would regulation in place stating that a digital billboard can’t switch ads more than once per day or something.
