"or be persuaded by ads"
Yes you will, you just think you don't/won't.
- echelon 11y ago> Yes you will, you just think you don't/won't. That's a really blanket statement. I'm rather minimalist, and I typically form negative opinions of the things I see in ads.
- deanCommie 11y agoYou are one person. Statistics show most people are not like you.
- goldenkey 11y agoSo the ads have an impression on you... dun dun dun. I saw a comment about the north korea pics earlier yesterday. It was referring to propaganda. Apparently the purpose of censored speech and propaganda wasnt so much to sway opinion and be cloaked as truth, rather it was an irresistable pleasure for rebels to decry and thereby reveal themselves. You might think that a deliberate attitude toward advertising can defeat it but the subconscious does not answer to your control :-)
- roel_v 11y ago"and I typically form negative opinions of the things I see in ads." Sure, until it's something that fits your world view, and then you don't. Look, I'm usually the first to (excessively) qualify sweeping generalizations I make with 'generally', 'statistically speaking', 'ceteris paribus' and other weasel words. Yet in the context of pervasive marketing, I don't need to - everybody is swayed by some form of advertising, whether you realize it or want to admit it or not; 50 years of research and billions of dollars spend on that research tell us so unequivocally. But if you don't, it's better you start admitting it to yourself - if only because it gives you better insight into your own internal psychological processes. Then again who am I to give unsolicited paternalizing advice to strangers.
