>it's the difference of seeing relevant communication to you
There is no relevant communication from any advertiser to me.
When I need something or want to know about things, I research it. Other information might come from friends and family. I do not care about what a to-me-unknown third party thinks a product is worth (including my attention), because their entire agenda is to bullshit me into buying something REGARDLESS of the need or quality of the product they talk about.
- libertine 9y agoBe aware of that stance - you are getting influenced by advertising, do not make the mistake of thinking you're not - because that's when you have all your cognitive defenses down. Be critic. Research is influenced by advertisers, that's why you have copy writers, SEO specialists, influencers, and millions of dollars supporting it. Mate you're a sitting duck.
- rf15 9y agoI'm not sure you can comprehend a human that tries to block all forms of advertisement, controls all information the net has on them and sees ads as a possible factor towards not buying a particular product. I might be an asshole who can be considered useless because I don't bring the ad industry a single cent, but I'm certainly not a sitting duck, mate.
- libertine 9y agoYou'd need to live in a hole to not be influenced by advertising... You're not an asshole, you're just a easy target because you have the illusion that no advertising has any effect on you. You need to comprehend how the human brain works.
- rf15 9y agoFocusing on your point: I don't think I am not influenced by advertising, I just avoid it like the plague for the given reasons. That also means that any intended influence to the benefit of the industry is sufficiently undone. (unless of course you can somehow twist my love for adblockers and muting the TV during ads into something that works for the benefit of the ad industry, which I think is difficult to accomplish)
- TheCoelacanth 9y ago> you are getting influenced by advertising, do not make the mistake of thinking you're not Obviously, but that doesn't mean I want to make it easier for them to influence me by letting them track me and target ads specifically towards me.
