Have you noticed? People have turned themselves into billboards for ads, canvases for somebody else’s benefit?

And the thing is, they are ads for nothing: everybody in 2024 said that the most beautiful thing one can aspire to be, is to look like an ad.

Advertising as a visual style, a fashion style. So now we have ads sitting next to things that look like ads, but since there is no product or sell attached to them, other than people themselves being advertising space. Is advertialism a thing? A style? An aesthetic?
