Partially. Our economy is built in selling you stuff you don't need, and ads are a crucial part of making that happen.
This is the way things go. If enough people come to one place order use one medium, it becomes a target for businesses who will squeeze it to death. Enough people listening to radio and this broadcast is brought by... New site that people start to use? Time to insert some corporate messages.

The average household will move into a larger and more expensive home for raising children. That already adds a few hundred. Driving to school, various after school activities, camps and stuff adds an additional tank of gas. Once boys are teenagers, they'll eat more than an adult, and adds a few hundred to the groceries. Driving education or in USA their first car isn't free either. Not to mention medical costs.
