And sometimes you get so used to there being brightly colored ads, ~~corporate propaganda~~ motivational messages and various warning signs everywhere, that you develop a blindness for everything too flashy and ignore it until you encounter a roadblock that doesn’t yield.

This is true and not just about ads. It’s called ‘sign blindness’.
People often run on autopilot when doing things as basic as opening doors, and reading requires direct attention.
It’s not (always) about being dumb or careless, it’s our nature.

You don’t normally have to step around a billboard.

  Good thing they weren’t specifically talking about billboards and instead were speaking to the much broader spectrum of advertising strategies.

    Good thing you aren’t them so its not up to you to say what they were talking about.
