This basically invalidates all of advertising in one stroke.
- goodpoint 3y agoAs it should. Why, did you think ads were valuable information?
- xg15 3y agoThat's correct. I think this is how most people see advertising.
- csallen 3y agoAdvertising works extremely well precisely because most people are aware that many brands with something of value are also willing to pay for ads. Look at Apple.
- mrguyorama 3y agoI would bet a small majority of people believe advertising "doesn't work" on them.
- prox 3y agoFor me it depends on the advertising. A brand that sells say bags? It’s fine, I love a cool bag. And then there is the “Play this one stupid game that has everyone hooked!!!” With an unrelated picture. Or “This guy became a millionaire in ONE day!1!” type of advertising.
- Levitz 3y agoPeople literally pay in order to escape advertising. Of course advertising is not worth it for the target. It's harmful more often than not.
