I would argue that movies, tv shows and advertisements have been doing essentially the same thing for 100+ years.

- ceejayoz 3y agoI think folks have a harder time recognizing "that's not real life" on something like a TikTok video or a Instagram Reel than they might for a movie, TV show, or advertisement.
- Clubber 3y agoI dunno, professional advertising firms are pretty up on psychological manipulation. If you buy these shoes you'll "be like Mike." Buy your wife this car/diamond necklace for Christmas and you'll ensure a loving relationship like this fake couple. Buy these clothes and you'll look like this stunningly beautiful person and the ladies/boys will fall for you. Buy this medicine and you'll be completely cured and running around on the beach when you're 80. Buy this Harley/Corvette and you'll be free from the drudgeries of life. These cool kids ride this bicycle, what do you ride? Buy buy buy. I hardly watch commercials anymore unless it's a ballgame. I was discussing with a buddy of what the psychological imprint of 40+ years of advertising would look like. "Sell the sizzle, not the steak."
