non-consensual advertising (consensual being things like steam discovery queue, where I actively want to be advertised to), "lobbying" (bribing), fossil fuels and friends, gerrymandering (US), the electoral college (US), publically trading your company
Most advertising is non-consensual, but I'm still whole-heartedly in agreement. One could argue that ads that are shown to a person consuming media without paying (podcasts, YouTube, etc), are kinda consensual.
