This is cool but I just mentally filter all this out already, no extension needed.

- WXLCKNO 3y agoI'd like to think I'm above this kind of manipulation but I'm sure I'm influenced like anyone else by things I'm unaware of.
- eropple 3y agoAs a rule: people who think this, don't. I used to think it, too. Then I consulted for a company deep into split testing for marketing persuasion, and it made very clear to me how often I've got an intrusive, consumptive thought entering my brain that I can trace back to an advertisement. It's why I am pretty militant about ad-blocking (and also paying for things, because I want those things to still exist); I notice it today when I have a really weird "hey, I want that" crop up and derail my train of thought, and interrogating why is often valuable and leads back to the same things. (Even billboards actually work!)
- aeonflux 3y agoYeah, like others said. You don't.
