Ads make people ignorant as they are not based on facts but making you believe insane things how products will change your life. Axe deodorant won’t make women

  If you believe most people are idiots you can justify pretty much anything

    So you believe that your mind can withstand an entire industry that is specialized in manipulating you? They use these techniques because they work. And some part of it you cannot escape from even if you actively try.

      You're assuming because adverts work it must be due to manipulation, and nothing else. And yes, to link back to your initial comment, I think most people know that an Axe advert isn't real.

  Just a tangential anecdote, but I once bought an Axe deodorant when I was staying in a boarding school in a really humid place. The smell actually made many of my female classmates cringe/move away when I sat in front of them. I had no idea about how they felt. After that spray was over (a few months later), I decided to switch to Playboy (which was cheaper at the time), mostly because I liked its smell. It had the added bonus of being tolerable too. A few days later, my teacher bought the same Axe deo that I had, and that's when I realized that that deo would literally mix with sweat to give off this wafting smell, as though you were a raving alcoholic. The smell was unbearable to say the least, and would literally make me choke. Thankfully someone had the nuts to convey that to the teacher and he switched deos.
