And I think you are right, also, in suggesting that even those who think
they can withstand advertising are subject to it.

I think one cannot likely "go wrong" by suspecting oneself has been
manipulated by advertising. Even this may not enable one
to see what is being done to oneself (although it just might, even
if only in part...), but at least one has some
sense of what's really happening (sort of like a 21st century
version of Descartes' assertion: "cogito ergo sum").
Emmanual Levinas once wrote that to be free is to act as if
one was free. There is some truth to this notion which I propose
is applicable analogically here.
