If vacuum sellers are willing to bid top dollar to advertise to people that just ordered a vac, who is Amazon to say they are wrong? Maybe they are betting on a dissatisfied return by people that clearly were in the market for a vacuum. Maybe the transaction isn't data that is available to the bidders.
Advertizing works. even on those thar believe themselves immune.
Far more smart systems already exist and are already used to sway people on a large scale.
The smartest system might not be the most profitsble for the intermediate add platform owner, so in those cases you might be on the receiving end of 'stupid' adds because it means more profit for the platform owner.
- DarthGhandi 6y ago> Advertizing works In a brute force sense yes. Word of mouth works far more efficiently. Let's face it you can pay enough money to make nearly everyone on the planet think that grey is the best colour, but was it worth it in the end? Millions of negative return marketing cases exist from this year alone. Marketing obviously doesn't work that well otherwise they'd all be the richest people on the planet and still yet convincing people to pay them even more. Reminds me of the "With $1000 I can earn you 200% annual returns" If you really could do that why not use your own money? People will get smarter, advertisers seem to ignore this.
