Movie and videogame trailers are advertising, people still look forward to it. CES, E3, and other various industry events are advertising, and people (or their employers) even pay money to attend.

It is less about it being advertising, and more about the medium/how it is done. Those things I listed above are usually high-budget and high-effort. Regular TV ads are the lowest common denominator "bang-per-buck" type of advertising, and no one typically likes those.
