The best way to counter publicity is to simply erase from your mind. Turn it into white noise.
I don't have a clue how I've learned how to do this but I can have multiple publicity spots thrown at me that I won't retain a thing. Sometimes to the point I get a song stuck on loop in my head and I can't figure where I heard it.
Using tools to dodge or simply eliminate ads is also an option, especially online.
You can take back your freedom of choice to take part of an audience for publicity if you are willing to put some effort to regain it.
