You own things, yes? How did you choose them? How did you even discover that they exist? That's what advertising addresses.

  Going 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?

    I don't think anyone truly does that 100% of the time.

      It'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.
