I don't think you realize just how insidious advertising is. Repetition builds awareness, which will infiltrate almost any thinking about the product or whatever. Every time you recall an earworm jingle, the ad is serving its purpose. The only way to not be influenced by them is to screen them out.

- lordkrandel 5y agoI feel that the advertisers really want to justify their salary and glorify their existence, by telling you their work is valued in years and that they never fail. It's a delusion. Here I am, after 37 years of advertising of everything, from shoes to games to food, to cars... in every single media... and? What are the results?
- tomc1985 5y agoYou own things, yes? How did you choose them? How did you even discover that they exist? That's what advertising addresses.
- lordkrandel 5y agoGoing to a supermarket, or to Amazon. Trying them one time and seeing if they're good. Reading unsponsored comparisons, or asking to a friend. And... no?
- tomc1985 5y agoI don't think anyone truly does that 100% of the time.
- lordkrandel 5y agoIt's more common than you think: when you dont have the money, you buy off-label. And if occasionally should I buy something that is advertised, is that worth decades of ad bombing every 5 minutes of every tv show and every web page? To me, it looks like there's a huge disproportion of effort vs the actual gain. I mean, I can sing all the ad jingle of my teen years. Maybe I have some strange anti-ad gene, but that's just a lie. Or probably not having tv channels, just helps.
