The quick answer would be "advertisements" however this leads to more questions. First, the advertisements are propaganda themselves, selling a state of mind or a specific worldview over the product. Second, the advertisements very rarely seem to be for products thar a viewer would seek out, almost all of them are for pharmaceuticals. Its not like people choose their medications based on ads they see, they let their doctors prescribe what their doctors think is best. It's not like hospitals and medical offices order their drugs based on advertisements, they order what they need and is in their budget. And then the prescription drugs are ordered by the pharmacy as needed. There really seems to be no point of these pharmaceutical advertisements beyond the normalization of mix-raced, obese, annoying, androgynous creatures with various medical disorders.
Do the companies pay for making this propagand, or do they get paid through billionaire investments rewarding their ESG score? Do they get paid through our tax penalties or our overpriced yet required health insurance scams? How do they not lose money on this? National TV advertisements cost over a million dollars per second and these ads play 3x in a row every 5 minutes on every channel. Where is this money coming from?
