How is harrassing me with psychological tricks to make money more important than my well being?

Can I come inside your house and shout "hey your wife is washing her ass, maybe she should get a different brand of soap!!"

I'm not defending advertising, but the business doesn't care about your wellbeing, they care about your money. The bigger the business the less they care.
