Yes, every once in a while there is a product that does not need advertising or aggressive marketing, where it's value is immediately and plainly obvious to everyone watching.
Buying one of these things does not enter you into the consumer-product-churn-rat-race.
- grugagag 6y agoI'm in the same boat, i'm not a consumer as they'd want us to be, I don't buy into any bullshit marketing, I never buy advertised stuff that passes my add blockers, I don't watch TV and when I unavoidably see billboards outside I make a mental note not to buy those products specifically because all the money spent on adverting will be paid by the customer in the end and Im not that sucker. I think advertising is toxic and obnoxious, but that's not everybody's opinion. I have some acquaintances who don't bother to avoid advertising and might as well find them fun even if they've seen them hundreds of times. I have no hope for these people, but they are are model consumers and somebody's plan is working accordingly
