Do you roll your eyes at yourself whenever you, say, drive a car?

We're surrounded by things that have their company's branding prominently plastered on them. Hell, stuff like luxury bags (eg: Louis Vuitton) exist specifically to flaunt a company's branding.

Of course, it would be nice if we weren't surrounded by marketing and advertising everywhere all the time, but that's beside the point.

Uh, no, I don't; obviously aesthetic judgments are much more subtle than that.

> but that's beside the point.

uh that is precisely the point. Hence if there is some trivial way to avoid it, I like people who do it.

For instance yeah your car has branding you can't avoid. But you know what you can avoid? Those stupid license plate holders that dealers put on to advertise themselves. Better than nothing.

> Those stupid license plate holders

In some jurisdictions you can avoid this problem by having no licence plate at all and if you upgrade the car frequently enough, you can avoid ever having a plate.

You can remove decals

Also, at least some of the car brands can be ordered without external model markings.
