It is. Advertisement IN ALL FORMS depends on deprecating (aka: shitting on) real conversation to supplant it with "buy crap". The more advertisements are present, the less effective they are, and the worse genuine conversations get. Door-to-door sales relies on people not actually being rude - in fact, it depends on it. And it tries to rush people to rapid hastily thought-out sales by triggering fight or flight. I have no issue in threatening them with criminal trespass and respond in kind if they refuse to leave. It's a whole other thing if I am looking for X, and I seek people/companies that provide X. That's consensual, and doesn't serve to destroy communication and conversation.
