>> commercials(TV, radio, etc),

I don't watch them, at all. I have streaming services. My tv isn't actually even attached to an aerial at the moment. And I mostly listen to BBC radio stations (I'm in the UK).

>> billboards

We don't have quite so many of those in the UK as there are in the US, but yes, they are hard to avoid.

>> ads in magazine's/newspapers

I don't really read paper ads any more

>> but the mind of paranoia associated with the passive and active effects of ads is a joke considering this shit has been a common part of modern society for a long time.

It's not really paranoia, I just prefer to avoid being manipulated.

It's genuinely possible to avoid nearly all advertising now. I like this and I find life without the constant commercial intrusion and associated information overload quite good.
