"I'm not going to buy anything from any ads anyway" The purpose of ads is often to get you to just recognize the brand (and/or associate positive feelings with it) so that if you are ever in the market for their products you'll be more likely to choose their brand over a "no-name brand" (ie. one that you haven't seen ads for). So you might think you're immune to advertising, but you probably aren't.

I offset these impacts by actively avoiding brands I recognize from unsolicited ads, and I encourage everyone to do the same.

Yes, That's why I use adblockers everywhere but that sometimes breaks the page and then I press the back button.
