I'm not asking about ads in general, but it might be part of the same behavior. I mean the trend of showing media/art like Finding Nemo and people immediately going 
with the message and buying endangered fish.
Is this commodity fetishization, and if so, what are things an artist or creator can do to curb that? Is this something that is considered the responsibility of the creator?
Can anybody suggest readings or authors that shed light on this problem or possible solutions?
The screaming hollow core of the neoliberal subject is just an empty void created by individualism and alienation and immiseration. All community and social fabric has dissolved into air, society is now a commodity that can only be experienced if you have the money to pay for it. "Want" is all there is, interrupted by brief moments of consumption followed by more hollow emptiness.
In this miasma, how could you ever expect an audience to engage with a subject without wanting it? We're hungry ghosts out here.
Source? If this is your original writing, it is exceptionally good. Poetic and evocative on top of being accurate and meaningful.
I think I took the specific term "screaming hollow core" from... something? A podcast maybe? (TrueAnon? Deprogram? Chapo?) And "dissolved into air" was a reference to "all that is solid melts into air" from the Manifesto. This was mostly just original writing, though!
I recognized the allusion to Marx's "melts into air" line, but I still could have sworn the rest of it was from a more recently famous work. So I searched for it but of course found nothing because you just wrote it! You have an impressive talent, comrade.
aw shucks 😳
